El Paso

We went to El Paso to hang out with my dad for a few days before he leaves for a few months. El Paso is a 5 1/2 hour drive from where we live. Our drive goes from an elevation of 4,000 feet (Clovis, NM) to 6,000 (Riudoso, NM) and finally down to 2,000 feet (El Paso, TX). Driving through Riudoso is beautiful. We plan to go camping there later this year.



We took a few pictures of the new family members.









Annie is so used to having kitties to clean and play with. My mom's cats are not used to dogs anymore and were not happy when a bubbly canine insisted on trying to lick them. The video is a little dark but you can see the cat's head and Annie's head.



In fact, they were so upset by this that they peed in the bed we were sleeping in. Who says cats are not able to communicate? Ha!


Right outside of Alamogordo, NM, there are three vineyards. I love to visit these and taste their unique wines. One has a wine with a berry after taste. Another has a white wine that tastes so sweet like juice. Delicious!
