We Met Flo From The Movie "Cars"

Jul 3, 2016 Sun0Route 66

There is just something about meeting Flo in Adrian, Texas, the mid point for Route 66. She previously owned the cafe but now just runs the Sunflower Station, a gift shop with her dog Brodie. She says she was the inspiration for Flo in the movie Cars. I don't doubt it for a moment. We talked with her for about half an hour. She gave us some postcards of her and Brodie.

But I forgot to get a photo of her for my blog so we stopped in on the return trip a couple of weeks later to get a photo. She talked about how the real tourist season will start soon with the folks from Europe. She said some folks from France were in recently and she just gave them a hug and said how sorry she was about the things happening in France (for future reference, there have been recent terrorist attacks in France). One of the ladies in the group cried and said Thank You! I think Flo is the real deal, plus she won't vote for Hillary in the election.

If you are ever in western Texas, swing through Adrian, Texas and have a chat with Flo. It will do you good.
