Spectacular sunset in El Paso

We drove into El Paso at dusk and witnessed the most awesome sunset!
The clouds reflected a rainbow of colors as the sun dropped below the
horizon, with sillouettes of the mountains creating a dramatic frame.
Simply breathtaking!

But that was soon to be topped as twilight blanked the valley and the
lights began to glow like a million twinkling stars...and as we
approached the darkened foothills which rose above us - the tiny
lights of the city surrounded us as if we were contained within a
beautiful snow globe. Wow!!!

We drove on to Los Cruses NM and spent a pleasant night at the Motel
6, which takes "pet friendly" to the extreme. The small and
comfortable room had pergo floors! No icky carpeting! Now that's
impressive! Of course the tick tick tick of Luc's nails on the floor
did wake me a few times as he plotted a break-in to Maya's crate.

The hot shower felt great after a good salad at Applebees...and our
road cooties got washed down the drain.

We're nearing Tucson and the scenery is spectacular. What a beautiful
road trip this is!
