I love old hotels, motor courts and diners.
Vacations as a child were spent traveling the vast USA by auto B4 Interstate Highways were conceived. These images are etched in the mind. The diners, motels, and quirky items along the byways...the Paul Bunyan and Babe characters in Minnesota to name but one. So much to see in our great nation. Petrified Forest, Yellowstone, the beautiful waterfalls along the west coast highways. They all bring smiles of delight.
