Too tired to be eloquent, too full to be functional

Today Bri and I started our trek through the states Kansas, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California to visit San Diego, in order that we may see Steve, Candice, and anyone else interested in visiting with us.

We started from Columbia at 6:30AM, and were in Kansas City by about 8-ish. Going around on I-435 took us a little extra time, but we avoided heavy traffic and got out of there in a reasonable amount of time, heading south on I-35 through Wichita to Oklahoma City. Oklahoma City is a surprisingly large city, with skyscrapers and everything. In Oklahoma City is the interchange with I-40, which took us to Amarillo. All in all, it took us a little under 12 hours in all to get to our hotel in Amarillo, which is startlingly nice, and from which I am writing this now while watching the Princess Bride.

Upon arrival, we decided that we would try to find some decent Mexican food--which we did! We went to a little diner-type mexican nearly-hut called El Bracero. I'm pretty sure that it was a former fast-food joint, and it doesn't look like the sort of place that we would enjoy, so we were leary upon entering, but feeling adventurous, we girded ourselves and entered. It was very casual, but pleasant, so we sat down and received our nachos--the most ridiculously awesome nachos we have had. Ever! Bar none! And then we had food--except that neither Bri nor I knew enough Spanish/mexican food items to know what it was that we ordered--Bri ordered off of our server's recommendation, and I made an essentially random stab at an order. Bri ended up with some rather excellent Steak tacos, and I managed a Pork steak that was quite possibly made entirely from habaneros. So spicy we were sweating and nearly crying, but so good we wanted to go back for a second dinner! Delicious!

Anyway, after having raved about this restaurant for the same amount of time as we spent speaking of the trip itself, we are about out of interesting things of which to speak. Tomorrow its up at 6-ish again, and on to Pheonix, AZ. We are super-psyched for the desert adventure!
