DAY 8

I hope this is OK. I am posting the great flickr photos link. It is a welcome relief from the rough phone pics.

They started at the Route 66 Museum where Earl and Jerry joined the Blues Brothers. I wonder who had the 4 fried chickens and who had the dry white toast???
Earl took 3 pictures going down the roads of Ill. that looked all about the same. So here is one of them.

He said all the little towns are so cute...maybe he used another word...but I heard "cute". Now there are 16 and it is humid...tough on Californians.
They have seen 2 of the 3 giants of Route 66, today. One is at the Launching Pad.
... and the one with the hot dog...getting roasted it looks like...is just somewhere, Earl said.

This is Jerry and Kathy at Rolling Rock Bridge.
Here they are again at the Mississippi...is that right?.....But that is Jerry and Kathy. I just not sure with body of water they are hanging out at.This is the Mississippi, for sure....

And here are the "mother" of the golden arches...St. Louis.
This is where the corn dog was invented, the Cozy Dog....shouldn't that be "dog cozy"?...Springfield. MO.

They had Ted Drew's Frozen Custard in Springfield, MO...but Earl had a banana split....FYI.

So they are bedding down in Fenton, MO. and Lisa has the Pod Cam working so check it out at the link.

You sure can link to my photos on flickr. I'm uploading lots more of them today, finally, because we have wireless access.
