Day 17

Today wasn't a very exciting day other than driving through 4 states.  We left Kansas this morning, and right before leaving Kansas we saw a sign for Dorothy of Oz's house.  So we stopped at the little attraction and took pictures.  The governor of Kansas declared the gateway to Oz in Liberal, KS.  So, I'm pretty sure this is the real Dorothy Gale's house.  LOL!  After Kansas, we drove through Oklahoma, Texas, and into New Mexico.  Our final stop was Santa Fe, NM.  We asked the guy at our hotel for the best Mexican food around, and he told us to drive a few miles to Maria's, a Mexican restaurant where mostly locals go to eat, famous for their margaritas.  We shared chicken fajitas, and I do have to say that they had the best guacamole I've ever had!  Along with some pretty good margaritas, it was a fabulous dinner.  I'm going down to the hotel exercise room as soon as I upload these pictures!

John's a little tired of taking a car-load into and out of a hotel every day!

My turn to drive!

Last stop in Kansas - Dorothy of Oz's house.

Dorothy Gale's House - Liberal, Kansas.

Left Kansas and into Oklahoma.

Third state of the day - Texas!

And after a long drive, we arrive in New Mexico.

We drove a little bit of the historic Route 66.

Beautiful New Mexico sky.
