"let's go for a walk"

"just be here at 7:30 because if we go much later it will get too hot."

As it turned out, those were very sketchy details.......

FOUR miles later.......

Javier, "Wanda", and Marie

It doesn't even look like El Paso - it's the upper valley - the mountains in the distance are in Mexico. That impressive river is the Rio Grande. A FAR cry from what I remember. We laughed about the river raft races they had in the 80's where you'd float to a sandbar, pick up your raft and walk it over to a deep place to float again (usually 2 feet ). There has been quite a bit of rain here over the past two years, my sinuses are KILLING me!!!

What GOOD DOGS look like (this is for Gidget and Fergus). Ok, they've been to obedience school (I wonder if there is a similar school for middle school children.......)

So the day wasn't a wash, we ran into RubyAnn and Michael (from Circus Surreal) very nice visit and went afterward to eat Huevos Rancheros - I do love the food.......
