The drive over from Silver City, NM, was smooth, easy and relatively short. El Paso does not have many RV parks. We ended up in one that's pretty much in the center of town and only about 5 minutes from Carol and Mike's place. It's a typical urban park and is clean but narrow. I almost defoliated a couple small trees getting in.
We set up and headed over to the house. Carol and Mike's home is in a very nice area of town. A few years ago, the city of El Paso encouraged citizens to convert their landscapes from lawns and trees to xeriascape or desert landscaping to conserve water. It's the first we've seen the change and it came out great. They also have a new roof thanks to a nasty hail storm. Carol and her daughter Kate got there just a little after we did and Mike got in shortly thereafter.
Kate picked up her boyfriend, Steve, and we all headed out to dinner at one of El Paso's fine Mexican restraurants. Mike thinks El Paso has the best authentic Mexican food anywhere and after the meal we had to agree. Mexican places also give you way too much food. None of us were able to finish everything. I had a beef and chili stew that was great.
Today we'll tour around town or shop or both.
