Whew!

i bet you guys didnt even realise we left tulsa. dont you remember john waking me up and making me get up and get out the door before my eyes were open? well he did. too early i must say. so let me back track a littel and tell you where we all are in our vacation here.

It has been raining, but that isnt gonna stop us, or at least me. if you can get past the muggy part, your doin ok. just find an air conditioned place and land there. so yesterday i wanted to go see john uncles gravesite. we had to take the longest way around to find it, but we did. the funny thing is, that it is right across the street from the neighborhood that alex lives in. I took a bunch of pictures for johns sister and sent some of them off to her. After we left there, we drove around the neighborhood and found alexs house again, but this time all by ourselves. then we found the house johns uncle lived in before he passed away.

we went back to our hotel and by that time alex was done with his customers at work, (it was his day off). alex took a nap and we watched tv till we went out to dinner. this brazilian steak house was so cool. very nice dining area, i really didnt expect that. the waitress warned us to go lightly on the salad bar or we would fill up too fast and not be able to taste all the meats. we took her advise and im glad we did. i got so full so fast, but not until i forced myself to taste most of the meats. i just didnt eat the lamb or the sausage. gag on those two. but alex ate like he never ate before. it was really disgusting, but he was having fun.

we left there at around 830 and went back to the hotel where we said our good bys to alex till next time. this morning we got up, packed the car and took off for amarillo. so that is where we are right now. there is a restraunt here called the Big Texan. they have a 72 oz steak that if you eat it and all the trimmings, you get it free. and you have to do it in an hour without getting up. there is a clock right behind you while you eat all the food. people have done it. i will bring my  camera and get some shots inside the restraunt. or you can go to www.bigtexan.com. you might be able to see it all there.

we will be leaving in the morning and trying to get to arizona tomorrow. there is a big crater john wants to see in new mexico, i dont know if he will stop. its up to him.

so until we hit the next stop, see ya all later.
