Chapter 345: All the Way Forward
Chapter 345 All the way forward
Thank you 'Kira Asha' for the tip, thank you for your support~!
The next day, at 8:20, this time Xiaoli didn't sleep lazy, and followed Li Shenxing to get up early and wash.
But today their breakfast was provided by the hotel, and after a casual breakfast of bread, salad, fruit, pancakes and milk, they left the famous city.
According to the route tips of the navigation, it takes 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach Lake Havasu City, but there are very few cars on the road, and almost every car is speeding, so when Li Shenxing drove to Lake Havasu City, it actually only took 2 hours to arrive.
The original plan was to go directly to the Grand Canyon National Park, but when I saw the recommendation of Lake Havasu City on the Internet, I felt that it was very beautiful, so Li Shenxing proposed to go there to see it, and no one objected, because they saw that the sky was very blue in the landscape photos taken by people who had been there, and the scenery was beautiful like a painting, so it would be a pity not to see it.
Lake Havasu is best known for its London Bridge, which stood over the River Thames in 1831, but one day the bridge could not withstand the increasing traffic, so the British government decided to sell it.
Robert McCulloch, who was the founding owner of Lake Havasu and chairman of the McCulloch Petroleum Corporation, won the London Bridge bid for $2,460,000.
During the demolition of the London Bridge, every stone was systematically numbered and transported to the port of Long Beach, California, 10,000 miles away. It is then trucked to Lake Havasu City. Reconstruction began on 23 September 1968. The foundation stone was laid first, including by the Mayor of London. On October 10, 1971, the relocated London Bridge was relocated to serve the public in Lake Havasu.
The bridge is currently the largest moving building in the world.
They found a parking lot to park their RVs, and then the four of them put on their backpacks or handbags and cameras, and wandered around the town.
This town is really beautiful, it can be said that it is a scenery step by step, pick up the camera and point it at an angle casually, press the shutter, and it is a framed painting.
Along the way, Lee Shin-xing kept pressing the shutter on Hyo-ri, Kim Hyun-sook, and Lee Jung-guk. Sometimes, I will choose a beautiful scenery as a backdrop, and then take out a tripod and take a family photo.
Walk all the way along the lake, just in time for the ongoing RC model yacht competition.
Li Shenxing loves these things the most, and he took his slip against these models for a while, and only after enough shots did he continue to move forward contentedly.
At half past eleven o'clock in the afternoon, it was time for lunch.
After pulling out their phones and doing some online searches, they decided to head to this Mexican restaurant with a recommendation index of 4 stars.
THE WEBSITE SAYS THAT THIS CHICO'STACOS IS GOOD AND CHEAP, AND THEN IT IS NOT FAR FROM THEM. So I didn't go back to drive, and walked straight over. When I entered the restaurant, the room was basically full of gray-haired elderly people, and even the eldest, Kim Hyun-sook and Lee Jung-guk, looked much younger than them, not to mention Lee Shin-xing and Hyo-ri.
Li Shenxing has always been responsible for the work of ordering, but Li Shenxing does not know much about Mexican food except for Mexican meat rolls, so he asked her what she had in particular to recommend, and finally everyone listened to the waiter's recommendation and ordered a set meal, Li Shenxing was afraid that it would not be enough to eat, so he added two more Mexican chicken rolls.
But when the dishes were served, Lee Shenxing began to regret it, because the amount of the set meal in this restaurant was too large, and the grilled chicken in the set meal was enough to support the stomach, Hyo-ri and Kim Hyun-sook couldn't finish it, and Lee Shenxing and Lee Jung-kook were also very full, and the Mexican chicken wrap that had not been touched could only be packed and taken away.
Overall, this Mexican dish is still good, and although it doesn't necessarily taste the best, it's better because it's generous enough to be worth trying.
After a short break for lunch, they walked down the road back to the parking lot.
Next, they're going to take a look at Route 66, which makes sense to Americans.
Li Shenxing parked the RV on the side of the road, Xiaoli got out of the car, looked around, and sighed: "Wow~! It's so quiet here~! ”
The place where they now stay is called 'Kingman', which was once known as the heart of Route 66. Originally a gold rush city, it is now sparsely populated, and now the main industry here is probably tourism.
The Historic Route 66 logo is everywhere and many of the buildings from the past have been preserved.
There are a series of museums such as HistoricRoute66Museum, MohaveMuseumofHistoryandArts, KingmanRailroad Museum, etc., you can spend half a day here to stop and take a closer look, but Li Shenxing and they are just passing by, and they will not stop too much.
I came to the post office, bought a few postcards, and then wrote a few thoughts or some others, and then put stamps and threw them into the mailbox to send to friends, and there were not only postcards in the post office, but also a lot of tourist goods with Route 66 signs, so we took a small stroll.
There are 66 good road signs for insulated gloves, water cups, table lamps, t-shirts, coffee cups, ceramic bowls, tissue boxes, glass photo frames and much more.
I just forgot to buy heat-insulating gloves for the oven before, so Li Shenxing asked Xiaoli to choose a favorite style, and the water cup also picked 4 different styles, which can be used as a special water cup for a family of four.
After buying souvenirs and sending letters, Li Shenxing drove around the town in an RV and set foot on Route 66.
Route 66 is lonely, except for the occasional elderly Harley party passing by, the rest of the time it feels like a lonely person on the road.
Along the way, you can often see the traces left by the prosperous era.
At the door of a small abandoned gas station, Li Shenxing stopped and got out of the car with a SLR, and patted the small gas station again.
After more than an hour of driving on deserted Route 66, we welcomed another town that was once very unique - Seligman.
Route 66 is lonely and long, and when Li Shenxing and they arrived at Seligman, it was like coming to a carnival feast that had just come to the curtain call, and it felt as if we happened to be late and did not catch up with the grand occasion of people coming and going.
When the OPEN light box is no longer lit, except for a few Motel doors, you can still see a few figures sporadically here, and you can also meet the fat man riding Harley just now at the door of the gas station, and no one else has been encountered on this way.
At this time, the sun on the head has set in the west, shining on this empty and gorgeous street, which makes people feel a feeling called loneliness.
After taking a few random photos, they set off again, it was not early, and they had to hurry to the place where they were staying.
After 2 hours of driving, they finally arrived at the RV camp before the staff left work.
After checking in, they were led by the staff on the golf course to the campsite where they parked their RV.
This time their RV is parked in a very good place, not far from the common kitchen, bathroom, toilet, laundry room, etc., more than ten meters away.
After parking the car, Lee Shin-hang immediately connected the water, electricity, and sewage pipes, and got all this done, Kim Hyun-sook started cooking with the help of Lee Jung-kook, according to Kim Hyun-sook, Lee Shin-hang was mainly responsible for driving, and dinner was done by the two of them, while Hyo-ri didn't have to do anything.
Since there was no need to cook dinner, Li Shenxing and Xiaoli took a change of clothes and went to the public bathroom to take a bath.
After the two of them came out of the shower after a while, at the door of the laundry, Xiaoli sat on a stool, and Li Shenxing stood behind her with a large bath towel to help wipe her hair.
"Oba, the climate here in the Grand Canyon is so dry~!" Xiaoli touched the skin on his face and said with some complaints.
"I remember you didn't buy a baby lotion, I'll wipe it for you when I go back, the daytime temperature here is also very good, remember to take sun protection measures before going out tomorrow morning, by the way, how do you feel today?"
Hyori looked down at his flat lower abdomen and replied with a smile: "What does it feel like now, it hasn't been formed yet~!"
"Hehehe~!I'm not in a hurry to see the little guy~!" Li Shenxing smiled stupidly.
"If you want to see anything, you can see it, at least until October. ”
"Yes, it's going to take a long time~!" Li Shenxing muttered.
Listening to Li Shenxing's impatient tone, Xiaoli smiled, and the expression on his face was very happy.
took away the bath towel and touched Xiaoli's almost completely dry hair, Li Shenxing said, "Okay~! ”
"Well, if we can eat later, my name is Oba. ”
Hyo-ri took the bathing utensils and went back to the RV first.
PS. Fortunately, it's not a stand-alone machine.,Hehe,I'm afraid no one will see it~!――
