Didn't care for the breakfast at Country Inn. I had some self made waffle and a bagel. Glad to leave there. Went over to the Western Museum around 9:30 and waited for them to open at 10. There were quite a few people waiting as well. The Art was lovely, photography was not allowed. The Prx de West had some outstanding pieces. I fell in love with a piece called "reflection" or something like that. I wanted desperately to photograph it but instead I made notes. I want to recreate this pose I loved it so much. Left there and headed West to Amarillo. It was an easy drive but the road outside OKC was rough. They seem to be replacing it since quite a bit of it was single lane. I saw some huge windmills and a tilted tower in Groom, TX. Also notable was the vast plain of nothingness. I did enjoy the scenery. Stopped for gas which was outside Amarillo next to a Texas Info Center. The two ladies at the desk knew about Biti Pies and gave me a map and even told me today was Monday, Lemon Pie day, I found Biti, a tiny little shack but with a pretty girl running the counter and drive up. I ended up buying 5 Biti's. One for tonight and 4 to share with Libbie when I see her tomorrow. I'll have to put Ice in the ice chest to keep the pies. After finding the Comfort Inn, which was very very nice, I set out for the Cadillac Ranch. Enjoyed the field of Cadillacs, I even painted one with Bluebird in red. Took soome photos thenlooked for Mooses BBQ on Rt 66. Mooses is gone so I went to Wendy's and had a very nice Baja salad. Excellent. I wonder what the calorie count is? This is a wonderful Comfort Inn, it seems to be brand new since it's on the edge of town.
