Get Your Kicks on Route 66

Are you humming the song yet? No? Then I recommend you go on itunes and download a couple of versions, listen to them, and come back to read the rest of this post!

Historic Route 66 goes right through Albuquerque where it becomes Central Ave. On the East side of the city, there is a stretch of 66 that Stephen loves. You can still see many of the original buildings although they have been repurposed. There are boutiques, restaurants, cafes, antique stores, art studios, tattoo parlors, smoke shops, a comic book store, and more. There is a metal arch over the street with neon lights in geometric patterns. One of Stephen's favorite restaurants is here, so today after church we took a walk around the neighborhood and then celebrated Stephen's birthday with lunch at Yanni's. Stephen had crabcakes eggs benedict, ("spectacular!") and I had a grilled portabella and tabouli ("delicious!").
