still, i know it's gonna happen someday

Los Angeles to Flagstaff

• route 66 runs parallel to interstate 40. it's bizarre. 
  
• drive, not so bad 10:30am-7:30pm
  
• weather is warm and rose up to 113 degrees
  
• drove by first del taco in Barstow. brother is very enthusiastic about this.
  
• stopped at ambroy, a historic route 66 landmark in the mojave desert. what emptiness
  
• in Flagstaff now. weather is good, view is beautiful and green
  
• dinner at beaver street brewery, a good yelp find. beer, fondu, and pizza. toasty
  
• still revising my essay at the arizona motel. 
  

tomorrow

a brief detour to the grand canyon and then to new mexico
