O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A

The drive from KC to Oklahoma was very relaxing. The highway outside of Evan's condo goes right to Oklahoma City. Absolutely no navigational skills needed today. The large cattle ranches and rolling hills are a nice change from the flat prairies seen along Highway 70 in the middle of the state. There was even a rest stop that had wireless internet! Oklahoma City has a trendy area called Bricktown. It includes many old, red brick warehouse type buildings which have been turned into shops, lofts, and restaurants. To top it all off, there is a minor league baseball team with the world's cutest stadium. For some reason, I always forget that Mickey Mantle is from Oklahoma. The stadium has a beautiful sculpture of him at the front entrance.

They really like "street art" exhibits in this town. The buffalo roam on almost every street corner.
