Too many things to write about individually, so here's the abbreviated version.
The List
1. Walked through downtown El Paso. Loved it!
2. Walked up to the Mexican Border Crossing.
3. Visited the El Paso Public Library.
4. Visited the El Paso Museum of History. Free = Awesome!
5. Visited a southwest pottery store. Bought a Mexican wall hanging and a gaggle of colorful, decorative ceramic chile peppers.
6. Strolled through the Munical Rose Garden. (1 of 134 official Rose Gardens in the U.S. due to the ripe blooming conditions all year long.) Free.
7. Drove around the University of Texas - El Paso campus (UTEP). Architecturally beautiful. It has good views of Juarez, Mexico.
8. Walked through the Chihuahua Desert Garden @ UTEP. Free.
9. Witnessed a dust storm. Exciting.
10. Drove over a tumbleweed while driving on a busy interstate. Sorry I crushed you with my rental car. :-(
11. Traveled to Las Cruces, New Mexico for a last minute view of a stunningly beautiful mountain peak before the sun went down.
Thus endeth my vacation in this sunny, arid land. I can affirm that El Paso offers much cultural heritage and history as well as friendliness from its diverse peoples.
Until next time, may the gods of travel be with you.
From the Sun City,
