USA ~ Route 66 ~
... Great postcard nr2 is showing the most legendary and famous highway in the world... “road of dreams” for many Americans... a route well known for its eccentric attractions like the World’s Biggest Bottle of Ketchup, the Blue Whale of Catoosa, and plenty of outrageous museums... for years on top of hubby's bucketlist... a trip with his Harley motorbike on Route 66đ... Thanks a lot Glenn!! (✿ ♥‿♥)
