Almost to Elvis.....

So we're here in Little Rock, Arkansas, wondering why it's not pronounced Our-Kansas instead of the Are-Can-Saw it's become, and fighting off the oncoming sleep coma to soon be brought on by a fine dinner we had at the Lone Star Steakhouse. We'll be in Memphis by 11am tomorrow, we're going to spend the afternoon and evening there and head east Thursday morning. We'll probably be in NYC by Friday, but if it's Saturday, that's ok to.

Not much happened today. We drove through OK to get here, and it's, well, dull. Not much to see but trees and tourist traps along the highway. It was an easy drive, just not as exciting as what had come before it. Regardless, I'm late with a few pictures. Going back to the weekend....


In front of Treasure Island Casino on Las Vegas Blvd. in the day time....

...and Las Vegas Blvd. once the sun goes down and the neon can shine.

Coming across the Hoover Dam into Arizona...

This is the current sign for some tourist trap trading post thing we stopped at!

We stopped here for lunch just before crossing into Texas. Notice that the 'Taco Kid' on the front of the building is smoking! Don't smoke, kids. It's bad for you. Tacos, on the other hand, are good.

We drove briefly on Route 66. Kicks were everywhere. You couldn't get away from them.

A weird bombed out church and surrounding community on I-40 East. Not sure if this was in Texas or AZ. I think it was AZ.

The Big Texan! Home of the free 72oz steak!

Everything is bigger in Texas, including rocking chairs!


After we left Texas we drove into OK and saw this rad little place....


...where inside you could try on cowboy hats and buy belts made out of dead rattle snakes.

That's all for now. We'll be having lunch around Graceland tomorrow and we couldn't be happier. Getting out of Arkansas won't be such a bad thing either....
