I haven't updated this blog for a while, mostly because of my road trip to Seattle. Now that I'm there, it's time to put down a couple of things happened on the way, while I'm waiting for FreePastry to compile on my prehistoric laptop...
So this day is the start of the road trip, going through Dallas, Wichita Falls, and Amarillo. The greatest surprise of the day was traffic – not in downtown Dallas, as one would expect – but on the way from Dallas to Denton. The speed is more like 10mph instead of... hm... let's say fast elsewhere. The rest of the route is mostly interstate, so nothing much interesting happened. On the night, we stayed in the Pow Wow Inn, which turned out to be nothing better than a motel. The attendant said it used to be a popular place, but is becoming less an interesting place since the fading out of "The Mother Road" Historic Route 66.
