Getting our kicks next to Route 66!

Interstate 40 more or less follows the fabled (?) Route 66. I don't quite get what makes that piece of highway so famous, except perhaps because it was the original U.S. Highway ever established and made famous during the Dust Bowl, but suffice to say that between New Mexico and Arkansas, there's not much going on that celebrated roadway.

Today's run took us to the south bank of the Canadian River and we had a wonderful jog with the few Okla City skyscrapers in sight. The rest of the day took us through the Ozark and we left the freeway to drive through Clarksville, Arkansas, which is one of these American rural towns set 40-50 years into the past.

The best moment of the day happened when we squeezed into the Bill Clinton's Presidential Library in Little Rock, our final stop for the day. We thoroughly enjoyed it, and I particularly liked the correspondence between the Clintons and some people famous, not-so-well-known, very rich and very poor.

I wish I were an American President to leave such a legacy! The rest of the evening was spend having a great little dinner by the Arkansas River...
