	eatstayplay.com - This is Route 66 National Scenic Byway as it goes through Williams, AZ.

No road in the world has the intrigue and quirky diversity of Route 66 National Scenic Byway. The history and the atmosphere that makes up "The Mother Road" brings travelers from all over the world to experience America the way it should be experienced - down a stretch of highway where "anything goes" is literal. From ancient pueblo cities that are still inhabited to abandoned motels and neon signs that represent an era of mobility and change, Route 66 is an eclectic mix of ancient and contemporary cultures that somehow seem to exist in harmony.

Driving down Route 66 is like stepping back in time: the architecture varies from abandoned stucco motels to ancient Indian pueblos, remodeled Art Deco museums to 1950s diners. Even the most ancient of Indian ruins have diverse histories: the Pueblo culture was made up of a combination of the traditional Native American and Spanish cultures. Many of the Pueblos are still inhabited, and the people live in much of the same way as their ancestors. For a real lesson in another culture, visit the Acoma Pueblo. The Acoma Sky City pueblo still does not have electricity or running water, and many of the people are artisans who continue to sell their wares to visitors.
