road trip, day three: MO, OK, TX, NM



the third day of our trip took us out of missouri and into oklahoma, but first we had to stop at the waffle housefor us northerners, it's a bit of a novelty but i get the feeling that waffle house is like a southern version of denny's.
siting there that morning, looking out the window at a completely unfamiliar
scene, I had this overwhelming sense of freedom, like I could spend the rest of my life driving around and eating in crappy diners and be totally happy and content.

in oklahoma we saw lots of cows and hay.
In texas, the landscape started to shift with little hills popping up in random placesthe road we were driving seemed to go on forever

when the sun set, there was not a cloud in the sky and it was almost painful, hot and blinding.

we stopped in amarillo to eat good, old-fashioned texas barbecueour meals came with coleslaw, potato salad, onion rings, apricots, beans and texas toast. it was quite the setup. but the best part by far, was the decor!

love always
