Nearly There

The drive out of New Orleans was frantic.  They are the worst drivers - very rude. Houston was pretty busy too but the the drivers were not quite as bad.  We stayed there for the night.  Right next to a  freeway, of course.

We were off to Brownsville the next day for a visit with Ron and Arlie and Carol and Garry.  It was raining when we arrived and it was cool - in the 40sF. 

We went out for dinner and had wonderful steaks. We had a good visit.

The next day it was still really cool so we went to the Brownsville Museum of Fine Art to see an exhibit called Celebrating Space. There was an excellent film on space.  I particularly liked the photos of Venus that had been coloured.  Wouldn't they make good quilts?

We enjoyed hamburger night at Winterhaven (their park)with Arlie and Ron and their son and daughter-in-law and then visited with Garry and Carol later in the evening.


From Brownsville we went to Junction, Texas.  The RV park was really nice and each of the deluxe sites had a fire pit, BBQ and area to sit.

Pretty fancy!





Today we drove to Las Cruces.  The countryside was pretty boring at first but then we got into a little more mountainous scenery.

The motorhome ran hot for some of the day.  We had a fierce head wind as well as outdoor temperatures in the 70s.  Our son has helped Dalton to develop a  plan to keep it running cooler.  I hope this works.  We will see tomorrow.  I am hoping that it will get warmer as we approach Mesa. 

It has been a long, but interesting trip but we are ready to get to Mesa.
