We traveled from Tucson to Las Cruces without difficulty last Sunday, and quickly settled in before heading west again the next morning to visit Puerto Palomas in Mexico. We had a lovely time there, first seeing our dentist and then shopping and having lunch in the Pink Building. It’s quite a pleasant way to combine teeth-cleaning with a fun experience. Later that evening we drove out to Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument and fell in love with that beautiful area.
On Tuesday Bob, Emily, and I drove out to White Sands National Monument. Emily wore her handwoven scarf for the occasion. Temperatures were in the low 70s but in deference to the blizzard that was pummeling the Northeast, a scarf seemed appropriate.
Later in the day we walked around La Mesilla, the old part of Las Cruces, enjoying the old-world atmosphere.
We capped off our busy day with a lovely visit with our friend, Joan, and a yummy meal at Andele Restaurante. It was so good to see her again!
On Wednesday we were on the move, traveling to Fort Stockton, TX for the night before moving on the next day to San Antonio, TX. We had covered 1000 miles in just over a week.
Thursday morning we hopped on a bus and rode to the Riverwalk area to show Emily some sights. We toured the Alamo, then walked along the river, visiting La Villita Historic Arts Village along the way.
We ate lunch at Guadalajara Grill, enjoying a delicious meal and excellent service. Afterwards, the three of us got back on the bus and rode to San Jose Mission to walk around this most beautiful place.
Whew! It has been a hectic week but full of wonderful experiences and memories.
