Blue Swallow Motel Neon Sign - Tucumcari, New Mexico

The next place I broke out my Diana camera along Route 66 was at the Blue Swallow Motel in Tucumcari, New Mexico.  This is one of the quintessential stops along Route 66.  We arrived in the evening and I got some nice shots of the Blue Swallow Motel neon sign out front.  Anne and I met the owners, Kevin and Nancy, who were very welcoming and have put a lot of work into restoring the motel.

World's Largest Blue Whale - Catoosa, Oklahoma

Along Route 66, we stopped off to visit the World's Largest Blue Whale in Catoosa, Oklahoma.  The concrete whale, which reportedly was constructed using 126 sacks of Portland Cement, was in good shape with a recent coat of paint and was obviously well cared for.  Additional information about the Blue Whale in Catoosa, Oklahoma can be found at the Oklahoma Route 66 Association.  Next stop: Blue Swallow Motel in Tucamcari, New Mexico.
