In this state, Route 66 signs are painted on the road surface.
Again to prove we are on the right road, an Historic Kansas Route 66 sign.
In Kansas we crossed the unique "Rainbow" bridge over Brush Creek. Live turtles were swimming in the water under the bridge.
Only a few miles later, we drove into Oklahoma as can be seen by this welcome sign.
Again we found the right road with the Oklahoma Route 66 signs.
In downtown Miami (pronounced my-am-uh) we visited the Coleman Theatre and had a personal tour around this magnificent 1929 theatre, paid for with the money from mining lead and zinc. It fell into disrepair on the 980's and is being renovated by a group of local volunteers who are doing an amazing job.
Just off Route 66 is the world's largest totem pole in Totem Pole Park Foyil Oklahoma. You can see Glenys in the door at the bottom.

Just outside Tulsa, in Catoosa, is this blue whale, a famous place and renowned photo opportunity at the site of a former swimming hole by the side of Route 66.
This evening, after dinner at the hotel in Tulsa, we relaxed round the pool until the sun set. We have no photos of this as we were both too lazy to get the camera from our room.
