Right before Oklahoma City we heard a funny noise on our front tire. Well, I would have driven until it didn't drive anymore but, Joe is smarter than me so we went to a service station & ended up with new brakes, new tires, new rotors, alignment, you name it, we got it. SOOOOOOOOOOOO 700 dollars later...we were back on the road in time to see the beautiful sunset in the city! We met a really nice guy while waiting who was from Johnson City, TN. Life is good & my car is running really good now! Joe & BJ |






| Its dark now & we just arrived in TEXAS We spent the night in Amarillo & woke up to a beautiful sunrise with McD's in the background. We met the nicest folks...real Texans! They were nice enough to let us foreigners take their pictures. Texans have BIG SMILES! |
