America's love affair with gasoline and the automobile

Jess, Jeff (my fellow interns) and I went to a route 66 festival in amarillo, tx which is about an hour away from borger. some restaurants were having a route 66 special in which, if you bought a 5 dollar wristband, you were able to purchase an item at the cost people would pay back when route 66 was a very popular highway for travelers. we enjoyed 15 cent hotdogs and 75 cent chili! I also got cantaloupe flavored gellato. 

Jess is an avid horse rider but she is also really into cars and motorcycles (she has a motorcycle license and used to drive a harley). some of the cars were cool shapes but it was cute seeing how excited she got over each car!

I thought this one looked like a dildo :D

this one was my favorite! 

Below is a trip we took a week or so ago to an outdoor art display.. of about 10 cadillacs stuck halfway into the ground and covered in graffiti.... i don't think it was very interesting per se, but i enjoyed tagging the cars with my name :D

that was a bit of a flashback... back to today BEFORE the car show!

sleepy eva watching the cars pass on the way to amarillo

 went to an antique shop.... and i ended up buying a piece of vintage luggage... dont make fun but i absolutely adore it! XP

Also I dont know if you read in the last blurb that i had got a really cheap pair of leather boots to combat all of the spikey cacti and shit i was walking through.. bc i was pulling thorns and shit out of my brand new trainers that i bought for hiking here.... well funny story about those shoes....

here are the boots right when i bought them... and i was so happy because they were so cheap! less than 2.50!

well sometimes you get what you pay for.... although the shoes were holding up against thorns and such i suppose the glue that held the shoes together was poorly done (which may or may not be why they were donated to the salvation army). and the bottoms of the shoes fell off completely and we had to tape them up so i could continue through the rest of the day... it is hilarious now but at the time i was really mad!
