This famous route crosses 8 states from Chicago to Santa Monica. It was opened in 1926. After the WWI, people wanted to travel so Route 66 was a good way for Americans to leave their lives behind. At some point, it was removed from the maps but now it belongs to the National Scénic Byway. To show how famous this road is, the movie "Cars" happened in this road. Along it, there are lots of entertainments like car shows, diners, museums. It's a good experience for families or for friends, with lots of things to do and to see. ]]> 2019-03-18 08:15:03 UTC https://padlet.com/rispal_nina1407/rispal_route66/wish/342276217 rispal_nina1407 https://padlet.com/rispal_nina1407/rispal_route66/wish/342285350 One of the must see entertainments along Road 66 is called The Cadillac Ranch. It's located in Amarillo, in Texas along the highway. It's a piece of art made of 10 vertical tagged cars. It was created in 1974, when people saw these cars and took rip off piece as souvenir. And now, people can tag on it, but there are a lots of visitors so their tags are quickly covered by others, and this is what makes the uniqueness of this place; somehow, the visitors are the artits of this piece of art.]]> 2019-03-18 08:49:09 UTC https://padlet.com/rispal_nina1407/rispal_route66/wish/342285350 rispal_nina1407 https://padlet.com/rispal_nina1407/rispal_route66/wish/349842951 We started our road trip in Amarillo, Texas with the Cadillac Ranch. It was amazing ! It's a place with vertical cars where you can tag it. We tagged each one cars by our name but we couldn't stay so long because we had so much to see !]]> 2019-04-09 09:15:14 UTC https://padlet.com/rispal_nina1407/rispal_route66/wish/349842951 rispal_nina1407 https://padlet.com/rispal_nina1407/rispal_route66/wish/349845174 After the famous Cadillac ranch, we took the van to the next state; New Mexico. The way was very long but couldn't be boring ! We passed the whole trip singing and laughing. Road trip with friends is really a good thing to do. After a long time, we were hot so we decided to scuba-dive in this crazy hole. It's located in Santa Rosa and it's propably one of the best experience I have ever done ! It was very deep and clear, we all enjoted it !]]> 2019-04-09 09:24:43 UTC https://padlet.com/rispal_nina1407/rispal_route66/wish/349845174 rispal_nina1407 https://padlet.com/rispal_nina1407/rispal_route66/wish/349846018 After this exausting and incredible scuba-dive, we seriously wanted to eat and needed to have a great diner, so we stopped at the 66 diner. WE all loved it ! The milkshakes were delicous and the burgers were good meals after a scuba-dive. We stayed there for a long time and we met nice italian tourists. They were going to the Blue Swallow Motel and told us about it's uniqueness, so we decided to stay there for the night. It was beautiful and lovely but we didn't have time to enjoy its beauty that we all fell asleep in our bed. ]]> 2019-04-09 09:28:28 UTC https://padlet.com/rispal_nina1407/rispal_route66/wish/349846018 rispal_nina1407 https://padlet.com/rispal_nina1407/rispal_route66/wish/349847560 The next day we woke up early to arrive in Arizona where we saw the mysterious pettrified forest. It was pretty creepy but we loved it so much. At some point we got lost but an american guy help us. After this, we all wanted so much to see the Grand Canyon so that's what we did. We where so exited ! We finally arrived but we couldn't enjoy it as we wanted because it was rainy ! But it is a must see in USA !]]> 2019-04-09 09:35:59 UTC https://padlet.com/rispal_nina1407/rispal_route66/wish/349847560 rispal_nina1407 https://padlet.com/rispal_nina1407/rispal_route66/wish/349848698 After this journey in Arizona, we finally decided to stop somewhere nice and a tourist at Grand Canyon told us about his experience in La Posada Hotel so we all agreed to pass the evening and the night there. When we finally arrived, we where in love with this place ! We enjoyed our time there and people is very nice here ! The day after; we didn't want to leave at all, nut when we thought about was to do in California, it wasn't hard to leave. ]]> 2019-04-09 09:40:55 UTC https://padlet.com/rispal_nina1407/rispal_route66/wish/349848698 rispal_nina1407 https://padlet.com/rispal_nina1407/rispal_route66/wish/349850882 After beeing finally on the way to California, we were both exited for the rest of the trip and sad because it was almost the end. But we stayed positive and enjoyed the last days in US. We absolutly wanted to visit the famous american city, Santa Monica. It was a dream coming true for some of us ! We went to Santa Monica Pier and took lots of picture; bought lots of souvenir and food. This place was probably my favourite during all this road trip because there were lots of things to do, lots of things to see, nice people and a great athmosphere. Then we had to visit the next town which was a little less welcoming. It was a ghost town ! Some of my friends were scared but I just enjoyed this nice moment, one of the last of this road trip.]]> 2019-04-09 09:49:54 UTC https://padlet.com/rispal_nina1407/rispal_route66/wish/349850882 rispal_nina1407 https://padlet.com/rispal_nina1407/rispal_route66/wish/349853054 It was already the last day of the trip and it was my birthday ! I was happy but very sad because it was the last day. I had no idea what we were going to do. My friends told me it was a surprise and obviously I was nervous. One of my friend can't keep any secret and told me we were going to Disneyland ! I was so happy because I didn't expect this but I have talked about Disneyland since years ! And this amazing day happened, here in USA for my birthday. I really have the best friends ever ! We passed the entire day there, sleep at Disney Hotel and left the next day early to catch our flight for Paris.]]> 2019-04-09 09:58:20 UTC https://padlet.com/rispal_nina1407/rispal_route66/wish/349853054
