On our last night, I decided to splurge on the beautiful Skirvin Hotel in downtown Oklahoma City. It was just what this weary traveler needed. It took forever to get out of New Mexico because all the roads out of Taos were only two lane...but it was a beautiful scenic drive. So by the time we made it to OKC we were very happy to have such a luxurious bed to sleep in for the night. We went down to the bar and enjoyed a lovely old man playing a red piano for us. We met a guy from Brooklyn who was there recording an album with The Flaming Lips. It was a great night and I actually wished we could have stayed longer and taken in more of the city. It's the cleanest downtown area that I've ever seen...no homeless people, no trashy streets, no funky smells. On our way out the next morning, we stopped by the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial. It's a very fitting tribute to the people who lost their lives there over a decade ago...
