Amarillo: Cadillacs and Windmill Farms

       Shortly after leaving Oklahoma City, we got back into seeing plains, farmland, and grasses across the countryside, but we quickly noticed something new in the landscape: windmill farms. I'm sure this is an everyday occurrence and not particularly unusual for most people, but this is something that we simply do not see on the east coast. Ben and I could not stop staring at how big they are, and I soon found myself researching how they worked, what they powered, etc. Basically, if you want to know more about windmill farms, I know a thing or two about them now.
       We continued this scenic drive until we reached just outside of Amarillo. Based on a recommendation from my sister and brother-in-law, we decided to go to Home Depot before we did anything else (and, the only Dunkin Donuts in town, mind you. They're getting rarer!). Armed with spray paint, we ventured to Cadillac Ranch just outside of town. Essentially, this is a graveyard of sorts, with half buried Cadillacs in the ground. Spray painting on them is encouraged, so naturally, we wanted to participate!

       For dinner, we went to an amazing pizza restaurant that we found via internet recommendations. We were not disappointed! In the morning, we woke up and headed to our next location: Albuquerque, New Mexico!
