Denim vest, jeans wrapped around the round and firm buttocks, a pair of cowboy boots, a scarf around the neck, and a stubborn and confident smile on the corner of the mouth. Feeling great. This steak shop is the most famous Texas farm steak shop in Amarillo. Anyone who eats 72 ounces (about two kilograms) of steak within the specified time. ※%

You can get free of charge. Yunluo was not interested in steak, and the two partners didn't expect to challenge. They just ordered 24 ounces to try it symbolically. A young man next to Yunluo and Yan Chenyu completed the challenge. He stood up and accepted the tribute from the audience!

The most iconic attraction in Amarillo is the Cadillac Farm, or it may become a Cadillac Cemetery! You can actually see this row of scrapped Cadillac sedans inserted in the soil on Google maps. Although it is cloudy, you can still see that the paint and graffiti on the surface of the car body is extremely bright, and even the weeds on the ground cannot be spared.

This place has also become a pilgrimage for road raiders and a landmark that everyone who walks on Highway 66 cannot miss. Many passing cars parked on the side of the road, and the weather was cold, windy and rainy, but there were still tourists who brought pigment sprays to improvise. Regarding the origin of this row of cars, you can refer to the fumble tour tips. Yunluo can only say that being rich means being willful!

In addition to Amarillo, Texas is another landmark, Adrian, which happens to be at the midpoint of Highway 66, 1139 fans from Los Angeles, and 1139 fans from Chicago. In other words, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu have already opened halfway on the afternoon of the fourth day. The remaining 8 days are because they reach the west of Highway 66.

Many times I will leave Highway 66 and turn to some nearby scenic spots, such as the Grand Canyon, Death Valley, Monument Valley, etc.

When we bid farewell to Adrian, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Because Texas does not recognize the Chinese driver's license, Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu have been "driving illegally", so they are very cautious in driving, for fear of speeding violations or other things being stopped by police cars, which would be a tragedy. The reason why they know the law is illegal is actually because they still think that Cadillac Farm must be watched.

When I arrived in New Mexico, it seemed like an extra hour was added to the mountain time. The first stop at Tucomcari was very dilapidated. Beluesotel is a famous motel. The wall paintings in some parking garages in the hotel are very bright and beautiful. There is a large supermarket nearby, and there is also a large wall painting on the side of the supermarket.

When I arrived in New Mexico City, I really felt that although these towns were not small, they had a small population, with many dilapidated houses and poor traffic on the streets, and seemed to be gradually declining. Santa Rosa is also a small town in the desert area. The most famous one is a natural spring in the city, b ehole!

I heard it is suitable for diving. But now the temperature is low and it is cloudy. So when Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu went there, they didn't see anyone diving. The water surface of the spring is not big, and it seems very deep below. People with claustrophobia or abyss phobia will be a little cautious when they see it. For example, Yun Luo == Dived in another blu ehole.

Located in Dahab, Egypt, the water quality of the Red Sea is so clear that it is outrageous!

Next, you can go south to the alien town of Roswell. However, the round trip of more than 570 kilometers was delayed a lot. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu chose to give up and did not continue to follow Highway 66. Instead, they headed north to Santa Fe first, with the goal of going to Taos Town the next day and then to Albuquerque.

Back to Highway 66. The road to Santa Fe is also a mountain desert scenery, majestic. As the altitude rises, you can see the Santa Fe mountain city shrouded in fog from a distance, like a fairyland. On Friday night, the accommodation here was almost full. Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu deviated for a long time before finding a place to touch the tel.

I still eat instant rice bought by Walmart at night, which is delicious and affordable. In fact, I discovered the next day that Santa Fe is really beautiful. No wonder many people come here to travel on weekends. Another reason is to catch up with the Hot Air Balloon Festival in Albuquerque.

After getting up, I first walked in downtown Santa Fe. There were two churches and a city square. It was worth seeing. It was a mixture of Indian and Spanish style buildings. Traditional adobe houses with rounded corners instead of edges. It was fairy tale. The palace thegovernors here are the oldest public buildings in the United States.

The wet grass in the downtown street garden was covered with fallen leaves, and the pigeons were walking casually. The idle tourists sat on the street to drink coffee. Yunluo felt that the pigeons were feeding here were quite tall.

Quote a descriptive text on the Internet: "Santafe is the earliest administrative capital of the United States, the center of trade and religion, and a resort of music, architecture, art and leisure. The winding paths of santafe, the garden with local flowers and plants, and the surrounding mountain scenery are refreshing.

There is no other city in the United States that protects and is proud of its culture like Santafe. Its natural beauty and human traditions have won sacred praises. Santafe is located at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. Every night at sunset, it is bright red, and people call it the Blood of Christ. This city is a world tourist destination and the third largest collection of art works in the United States.

Later, I met a girl living in Chicago, USA in Istanbul, and also mentioned her obsession and love for the small town of Santafe. It seems that Yun Luo, who had not made a guide, accidentally found the right place. The road to Taos began to rise, and there was also the canyon terrain along the way. The ticket to the Indian village of Taos was $16.

It was a bit disappointing. It felt like it was used to set it up for tourists to visit. It was no longer a village with real life significance. However, the surrounding mountains are beautiful, and there are golden deciduous forests all the way. I also found a Chinese restaurant here to eat fried rice, which was very large. The waiter went to school nearby.

Then, when you come to visit and work during the holidays, it is not easy to meet your Chinese companions in such a remote mountain town.

After leaving the town of Taos, I headed straight to Albuquerque, and passed by Santafe without stopping. Tomorrow is the last day of Albuquerque's annual hot air balloon festival. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu were lucky (I only knew what hope and disappointment coexist the next day). But the problem is that the accommodation is quite tight, and I finally found a room in Tel6.

I asked about the information about the arrangements for the Hot Air Balloon Festival tomorrow, and then went out to visit. The Hot Air Balloon Festival was released in the morning, and there was basically nothing in the afternoon, so Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu went to Albuquerque for a walk in the afternoon, and did not see many weird Mexican symbols (I met many skeleton beauties in San Diego on the last day).

However, the colorful houses here are very eye-catching and there are no pedestrians on the road.

When I arrived at Sandiapeak in the evening, I realized that tourists had come here. I saw such a huge team for the first time in the past few days. The peaks here rose from the ground, desolate but majestic, with a vertical height of 1,100 meters. It is said that Mexico can be seen from the top of the mountain, and there is also the longest cable car in the world.

The cable car ticket is $20, and the queue is nearly two hours long. Yun Luo did not take the cable car, but was waiting at the starting point of the cable car to watch the sunset. In fact, it is already in a downward trend, and watching the sunset is very suitable. Today's sunset is quite special. On one side is the golden light of the sunset, and on the other side is the tornado, the lightning and thunder.

In order to capture the lightning by the setting sun, Yun Luo held the camera and kept pressing the shutter. He took more than 100 photos before he caught a few lightning shots, which was not very obvious.

The frequency of lightning is not high, so you can only press the shutter when you see the lightning and pray that the lightning will last longer than your reaction time ==. It is difficult, because it is not night and there is no ash filter, so long exposure methods are not feasible. After dark, an hour after it is dark, the companion finally got off the cableway.

Their unanimous feeling was that the top of the mountain was so cold! It was frozen to death! There was a bit of traffic jam on the way back. When it was traffic jam, I saw giant fireworks lit up over the city center. Fireworks were set off every night, which was one of the repertoire programs of the Albuquerque Hot Air Balloon Festival. You have to go to bed early when you go back because you have to get up at 5 o'clock the next day.

The hot air balloon is not far from the hotel, and you can walk for about half an hour, so you can only choose to walk because you may encounter traffic jams when driving, and it is difficult to find a parking space.

I got up at around 5 o'clock, ate a little bread to cushion my stomach, picked up the camera and ran to the hot air balloon nearly 3 kilometers away to release it to the venue. The ticket seemed to be $10. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu were already early, but when they arrived at the main square of the hot air balloon festival, it was still crowded with people and bustling. At this time, the sky in the east had gradually become cooler.

Many people came out of the tent and started to prepare breakfast. The venue was very large. Yun Luo and his friends made an appointment to return at 8:30 and then went around. Some pickup trucks began to pull the trailer in one after another, and each took their place. The sound of hot air balloon engine nozzles was everywhere. The flames heated the air, and many refracting scenes were seen.

Some hot air balloons also began to bulge slowly, from lying down to standing full, and many spectators would surround them to cheer. At most, there were 8 or 9 hot air balloons standing up at the same time and were eager to fly. There were all kinds of shapes, including the little fat pig-shaped Spider-Man, the xx-eyed puppy. But. But.

In the end, no hot air balloon flew up because the weather was not suitable. The wind was too strong, and the mood rose as the hot air balloons bulged, and then fell down as they slowly deflated. I thought my luck was good to catch up with the Hot Air Balloon Festival, but the sky was not beautiful.
