Road signs and Cacti

Another Jean, Jean B. shares these two photos: 




On our way from Page to Phoenix we happened to drive a few miles on route 66. This is the picture of the crossroad with plenty of  roadsigns : A symbol of so many things to see, to remember and to discover in the US, a fascinating endless adventure …
