Just a quick note to say that we’re alive and well and sitting in air conditioned comfort at a Red Roof Inn in Phoenix. I may very well wait until we land to do my trip commentary, but you can get Mark’s version starting here…
Another exciting day of desert driving took us through Tucson (where everyone apparently lives in his own double-wide), Las Cruces, and not much else. We saw the award-winning rest area near Las Cruces, and it was very nice…
We were running really late, so we were unable to visit a friend in El Paso, since we (alas) didn’t even know he was living there until we were still about two hours out of town. And I DID like the town; it looked like a rather compressed, hilly, and landlocked version of what would otherwise be a flat, sprawling Texas city. And the lights of Juarez across the border were very tempting…
Dinner at a nondescript Subway on Lee Trevino Boulevard…
