ON THE ROADS OF TEXAS – Where Heaven, sometimes has the color of rust

Big Bend National Park is on the border between the US and Mexico, a fantastic nature reserve consists of 90% desert. Beautiful landscapes are in every corner of this park through the Chisos Mountains, but we have not made this long detour south, preferring to get back in Texas at another time, devoting time and enthusiasm to the visit of this wonder of nature. Fort Bliss, Fort Davis and Fort Stockton. Are you in the Old West search? These places are waiting for you, because they retain the charm of the old US border. Guadalupe Mountains National Park is a mountain park (great if you love hiking), with a landscape is special, but the top is at sunset in Guadalupe Peak, the highest point in Texas.texas1.2

Texas, along the Road 66, we saw on the horizon a strange setup. It looked like the cars that were growing in the ground. Oddly enough, they were all slanted. Reading something on our travel guide, even before arriving we knew that this was a special place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoTjkeoyr1E Cadillac Ranch is west of Amarillo (towards Tucumcari-Santa Rosa). The output that we took was 60. Cadillac Ranch was on the way, admission was free. In 1974, Cadillac Ranch is the brainchild of a group of hippie architects of San Francisco. As true lovers of Cadillac, they had decided to devote the kind of car a very original tribute. It was necessary to collect of the funds, and they chose a rich man in Amarillo, interested in realization of the project. In those lands west of Amarillo, they arrived ten Cadillac models, the three artists burned the car to the middle and interrarono (in chronological order of production), arranging them westward. Anyone passing on that road could stop, approach the cadillac and “graffitarle” (or even take away a piece as a souvenir). A few years later, the installation was moved two miles west (I-40 Frontage Rd, Amarillo), but the charm has remained unchanged, and the aura surrounding the Cadillac still attract nostalgic art that can overcome herself.texas2.3

Strangely, this place so creatively conceived, had given birth within us a great hunger (and an immense thirst). We solved the problem in Coyote Bluff cafe (2417 S Grand St, Amarillo) Beef Steak http://coyotebluffcafe.com/ flooded with mushrooms, cooked to art, accompanied by excellent fries. A small restaurant from outside is not very inviting, mache hides a sublime cuisine: authentic Texas dining, quality and cheap. From the window of our hotel (the Motel 6) https://www.motel6.com/en/motels.tx.amarillo.4927.html#?checkinDate=2016-08-21&numNights=1&numGuests=2&travelAgentNumber=TA001124&corporatePlusNumber=CP571532 that night we could observe all shades of the sunset. The Palo Duro Canyon (which is Spanish for hardwood), is south-east of Amarillo, do not forget to admire its deep red color (due to the strong presence of iron), with different shades during the hours of the daytexas3.4
