¡Hemos llegado!/We've arrived!


Sam and I are finally here! We decided to drive all the way to El Paso yesterday and made it in last night. We had a gorgeous drive through Western Texas. We took the more southern, scenic route on Highway 90 and went through the changing desert and mountainous terrain. It is such a different kind of landscape than the east coast, but beautiful in its own way. We passed by dozens of ranchos (ranches) with so many vacas (cows) and cabras (goats). There is so much espacio (space) in western Texas and it is absolutely fantastic. Highway 90 also straddles the Mexican border so most of the time we could see into Mexico, especially when we got back onto I-10 and could see the Rio Grande. I will write a bit about each of our stops along the way, with pictures included. Enjoy!

Love,

Kimberly

    YEA! You are there .....safe and sound and a bit road weary, probably. glad you had a little time together in El Paso to get the lay of the land and for Sam to see where you will be working and living for the next 8 weeks. I remember the breakfasts in Twin Sisters and they really were good. I enjoyed the picture of you and Dominique. It was very nice of you and Sam to go to so much trouble to see her. It sounds as if you have a nice little home for the summer and I am happy for you. Have a nice weekend together and gear up for Monday. Can't wait to read your blog. Take care. Love you much....Grammy
