At some point late in 2000, I decided it was time to move back to California and join my boyfriend in his apartment in Redwood City. After Christmas, my best friend Jocie and I set out for the west, following Route 66 through Oklahoma, a bit of Texas, Arizona, and some other lovely territory. These are pictures from that trip, which was a swift and fun one.
