The route from Santa Fe, NM to Vega, Tx took us through the great Route 66 town of Tucumcari, NM. We wish we could have been here at night to see all of the neon signs glowing. We then headed on to Adrian, Tx to get an "ugly crust pie" at the Midpoint Cafe but unfortunately we arrived in town just after the cafe had closed. We ended up spending the night in the metropolis of Vega, Tx. - population 950. There are so many great little towns along the way.
