The girls on the Route 66 travel blog are having a blast. They danced with a fleet-footed old man at the Round Barn in Arcadia, Okla., had their vehicle jimmied open after they accidently locked their keys in it at the Midpoint Cafe in Adrian, Texas, and got a tour of the Blue Swallow Motel in Tucumcari, N.M., where they reported this fascinating tidbit:
… It turns out that there’s a fountain in front of the hotel that they just discovered mere weeks ago, and are now working to restore. It seems the fountain hasn’t worked in decades, because only the locals who were around in the 40s remember it in its functional state. Should be fun when it’s completed.
I'll be at the Blue Swallow in a couple weeks. I'll ask about it.
And guess what? The Blue Swallow has retooled its Web site. Looks nice.
