Some were very cool, like the one in Santa Fe where you had your own car port.

Some were scary, like the one in nowhere new mexico where you got a shock when you touched any lamp.

But I love them all, regardless.

And eating regional food is my passion. Plus you get a chance to talk to locals and read the local newspapers.

We did Monticello on our trip 2 years ago and loved it. We also went to an old-time air show not far away from there with sing walkers and such.

Check out roadsideamerica.com when you get a chance. It's the best source for finding the offbeat attraction in the US.

Wish there were a similar site for Mexico.

Do you ever do geocaching? It's a great way of exploring areas that you wouldn't ordinarily go to.

This conversation is making me want to get back on the road!!
