Comme de "vrais" jeunes mariés, nous partons en voyage de noces.... via la Route 66!!
Just Married! We've got to hit the Road.... Route 66 that is!!

Un stop obligatoire au Walmart pour acheter : tente, sac de couchage (un seul à ce stade et je vais m'en mordre les doigts très vite....quels touristes!!!), quelques paquets de chips/crackers/autres conneries.... et se prendre pour l'American Housewife qui a juste trop de chance de faire ses courses là...plutôt qu'au Shopi!! (mais ça, les américaines ne le savent pas...)
HAVE TO stop at Walmart! We need a tent, a sleeping bag (actually, we will soon find out we need two and not just one coz it's freaking cold at night even during summer time!!), some "dry" food.... And I find myself dreaming I'm an American Housewife doing her food shopping there, with the huuuuuge trolleys, the huuuuuge alleys and the huuuuuuuuuuuuge size of everything.... it's so much more exciting than the French supermarket!!

Petit arrêt rapide à Chloride. Mis à part le joli panneau, il n'y a rien à faire et il n'y a pas un chat!
A quick stop in Chloride which, except for its cool sign, is pretty much dead and burried...

Après 3 heures de voitures, on arrive à Kingman, toujours sur la Route 66... un petit arrêt au Diner pour une Root Beer et on repart!
After a 3-hour drive, we stop at the perfect diner for a cold root beer... how I miss it!
On a la Route 66 à nous tout seul.... c'est pas le luxe ça??
Not a single soul on Route 66.... It is for us...exclusively! how sweet is that!!!

Et puis il fait nuit... on a roulé toute la journée... on a faim! Nous sommes à Seligman, patelin paumé sur la 66, il est 22h. Rien d'ouvert à part ce troquet. Et c'est juste PARFAIT.
After a whole day on the road, we're wrecked and hungry. We're in Seligman, it's 10pm, everything's closed except for that little café... and it's just PURRFECT.

Such good, fun photos. Roadtrips always seem like they'd be so colorful to me, and this definitely captures that.
