Amarillo, Texas

Amarillo, Texas will be our only stop in Texas for now, and that is just a stopping point on our way to Oklahoma City. The reason we are skipping Texas for now is due to the Ebola situation that is happening in Texas. Oh, well. Hopefully we will have time to stop in Texas on the way back. In Amarillo there wasn't much to see except Cadillac Ranch and The Big Texas Steakhouse. Cadillac Ranch is some random artwork that consists of 10 or so old Cadillacs buried halfway facedown. Then, you can spray paint all over the cars. Everyone is allowed to spray paint on the cars, it isn't illegal or considered graffiti. We stopped off at Home Depot to pick out paint colors for each of us. I got light blue instead of my favorite color purple because I figured it would show up more. It was fun, but it was also shocking and depressing and how much garbage was left behind from people using spray paint. We ended up getting trash bags from the van and filled 5-6 sacks full of trash.

Trash bags filled with used spray cans of paint.

 

 

For dinner we went to the Big Texan. Apparently at this restaurant if you eat a 72oz steak, it is free. The cost for the steak was $217.00. Ouchie Wa Wa. But, it was part of the experience. The steak was as big as a plate.
