Yesterday I went to Amarillo, Texas on the way to Santa Fe, but not without the famous' Cadillac Ranch 'visit
to pay. When I heard on the Internet, that the ranch (which consists only of the 10 Cadillacs) on the legendary Route 66, I was looking forward immensely, because I was two birds with one stone. After watching the colorful cars had taken enough in appearances, I tried d ie Route 66 This was not that easy because the road does not exist anymore in many places. How, as so often has the a lte make the new place, so running in place the old Route 66 is now the Interstate 10 Fortunately, the display of my Navis also indicated so, I noticed that I was mainly on the way to Santa Fe was on Route 66 on the road. In places, the original street e was still next to the new interstate. I let this opportunity escape me, and turned aside every now and then to the old line, even if it was right next to the IS. If that is even possible, you should not let the old spirit escape. On the way I always stood a billboard for Fort Sumner in the eye. Since there is only a To about 130km away was about, I was driving down times. Unfortunately, the Excursion is not as productive as I had hoped. These were a village of 1,000 inhabitants, and perhaps the only attraction was the 'Billy the Kid Museum', which was not so bad for his $ 5 entrance fee, even if (as in most 'historic' Privatmus een the U.S.) once again was a lot of trash in the halls, which runs at all have nothing to do with the subject. After this, 3-hour detour to visit museum, I found myself back on the road to Santa Fe . When I was in about 2300 high-altitude capital of New Mexico cos arrived, it was a little later, I looked for a motel, and tried to bite something together over the Internet, the places I wanted to visit the next day. The motel was $ 35 very cheap, but it shows. Meanwhile, I've resigned but that German is not comparable to American standards. Only the non-suppressible gas heater with a defective fire cover gave me a little worried, but since I can still write, I'm not comfortable flying in the air. Even the night was not very restful because someone had been attacked in the next room by about 1 ° ° clock, thus prevailed quite an outcry and the police then arrived with the same 3 cars. Well, no risk, no fun ... the next morning, when I roamed the city, I was very surprised. Santa Fe is the capital and the 3rd largest city in New Mexico, but was still very manageable. But nevertheless, Santa Fe is a very beautiful, historic city which has preserved its charm gu t, since even the new n buildings no higher than 4 floors and also in line with g the style of the old adobe houses are ebaut. A pleasant change from the other cities I've visited which have blighted their old charm with glass and steel skyscrapers. Highlights include the beautiful old churches and chapels as the Saint Francis Cathedral and Loretto
Chapel. Unfortunately, the Americans have some very 
little sensitivity in and with such buildings. Thus, ever on the phone in the church and the loud chatter of laughter. The fact that the Loretto Chapel is a huge gift shop was added, which is twice as large as the chapel itself is a testament not in good taste. Outrageous in the city are also the countless art galleries, which exhibit their art works outside the building. In the city itself is estimated that more works of art are as Russians in Moscow. It is not at all to see in the able to a lle . But even if you enter no galleries, one sees so much that people can remember pturen not all, of some very imaginative Skul . When I had finished, the city several times, it was time for a change of air, so I went to Albuquerque for the first of the museums, which I had memorized during my lunch break in the Navi. This related to the possess Rattlesnake Museum, which boasts the largest collection of live rattlesnakes in the world. These animals are really incredibly nice if 
they can be viewed up close. It bafanden next to small and large specimens are other snakes, lizards, scorpions, spiders undSchildkröten in the museum. From one of the guard when asked whether I had a question, I ended a sound the Lap 
top and showed him the pictures of the rattlesnake, which I had seen a few days earlier in the canyon. He immediately recognized by their characteristic Tail and identified them as ' Western Diamondback Rattlesnake '. Then I walked a few meters to the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History. This was an exemplary run museum which is currently a special exhibition with works by van Gogh, Monet, painters Pisarro showed. Very remarkable was the exhibition of photographs, which of the 10 students - 12 Classes of local schools were made. Unfortunately, shooting in the museum is strictly forbidden, because there were some very good shots below. The next part of the museum I could not not visit over, because the opening times of exactly been met. So had I unfortunately left the locality and returned to my car to get me to look in the middle of rush hour a motel. so much to today
