Mother Road by Luis

Hello classmates,

I would like to go across the "Mother Road" in the United States of America. I would try to tell you what is more interesting in this journey.

Firstly I am going to tell you about the story of the road and then I will narrate where to eat and sleep as well as some interesting places.

The "Mother Road" or "Main Street of America" was built because of migration from the East to the West of the United States of America during 1920s and it was established on November 11th, 1926. Originally it ran from Chicago, Illinois, through Missouri, Kansas, Akkahoma, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona before ending at  Los Angeles, and a few years later it arrived at Santa Monica, California, covering a total of 2,448 miles (3,940 km). And in spite of the Interstate Highway System, tourists are using this road.

For eating you can go to different restaurants. If you love the meat, you should go to the "Big Texas Steak Ranch" restaurant, in this restaurant they will give you for free a fillet of beef if you are able to eat it in one hour.   However if  you are for example in Kansas, you can eat the famous cakes "Mine Run Candy". Also, if you want to eat surrounded by trains your restaurant is "Ollies Station"

For sleeping you can choose  among some places, for example, the Wigwam Motel where you can sleep in a tipi or teepee, (this is a conical tent used by the nomadic tribes of the great plains), "the Horse hotel"  or "the Munger Moss Motel".

For a good and incredible view you should go to Grand Canyon of the Colorado River considered

one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World or you could dive on the beach where the "Baywatch" serie was recorded.



Then, if you want to see a really interesting place, you mustn't forget to stop in the Cadillac Ranch in Texas.

And finally when you arrive to Wilmington (Illinois), you can see some Muffler Men which are large moulded human statues placed as advertising icons of the United States. This Muffler Men is called "Gemini Giant"
