Photos from Texas & New Mexico:

6/14/04 to 6/21/04

Photos taken during our vacation in El Paso, Texas. Photos cover the 26 hour drive to El Paso, our side trips in Mesilla and Carlsbad Caverns (New Mexico), El Paso itself, and the drive back... Oh what a trip!

The drive...


And we're off.


Where are we?


Somewhere in Arizona...


Another Arizona cactus. Cool.


Arizona? New Mexico? Texas? Who knows...

A dust devil in New Mexico.


Yup, more. We even drove through one!

Carlsbad Caverns, New Mexico


Oh, the desert...


Sunset outside the caverns.


Dare you enter?


The Lion's Tails.


Fairyland... so, where are the fairies?


A big wet rock - looks like snow to me.


Below the wet rock: a cave pool... yes there is water there.


I dunno what it is, but it's cool!


It just keeps going, and going, and going...


Aprox. 1/2 million Mexican Freetail bats leave the caves at sunset.


Lots of bats...


It's very hard to get a picture of the bats...

Mesilla, New Mexico


Wine tasting at La Vina in Mesilla... Yum!


Had a little too much wine...


The 150 year-old San Albino Church


The Kid is back?


Tequila... it's even better than wine!


How many kinds of tequila are there???
