Weekend
Yesterday was our first full day to spend exploring the city of El Paso. We went downtown to the convention center where they were having a Cowboy Boot Liquidation Sale! I tried on many pairs of boots, but none were orange. They were not that comfy to wear either.
We walked around the Railroad and Transportation Museum and then headed to a famous hotel. In the hotel there was a spectacular Tiffany style dome and underneath they put a circle bar. It is supposed to be one the top ten places to grab a drink.
After admiring the architecture, we headed down to the Gran Mercado. The streets were filled with people and cheap items to buy. It was like a big flea market. We walked to the edge of Texas and saw the border patrol escort people in to Mexico. We might venture across one of these days, but for now I just took a picture of the bridge.
Last night, we went out for wings, which were delicious and went downtown for a margarita. In the Mexican restaurant we saw a few bands preform. They were anything but Mariachi's. One guy even rapped.
Today, we are heading to the McGoffin house. The founding family of El Paso resided there. We also plan to visit the highest point in Texas, which is on the top of the Franklin Mountains. The Franklin Mountains make up the tip of the Rocky Mountain chain.
