Ray Charles was singing "America the Beautiful" as we drove across Oklahoma with its spacious skies this morning. Fields near the road were just beginning to show light green -- they'll be amber later. In the afternoon when we got to New Mexico, we saw distant mesas and small mountains in a purple light. A perfect song for traveling!

Old Route 66 was pretty much in the same place as our road, Interstate 44, and we observed a few of the tourist attractions that commemorate the route now. I'll be writing about that later.
Our afternoon music was a series of pieces by Bach, including concertos, the Goldberg Variations, and the French Suites. More perfect music as the scenery changed from very dull Texas panhandle dryness to the much more beautiful mountains as you come down into Albuquerque. The constant variation of the scenery is amazing.

I think we'd travel well together -- at least with our playlists! (And dining!) Looks like the perfect drive and musical score.
