Travel day today. With a healthy morning urban hike across town pulling & carrying our bags, we boarded the Sunset Limited for travels further East to Alpine, TX. Along the way we were gifted with some of the most beautiful sights one could imagine. Vast open spaces unheard of along the East coast. Mountain ranges filled with extinct & dormant volcanoes. Lands comprised of everything from arid deserts to farmland & orchards. And towns made up of mobile homes to El Paso, the biggest city we saw all day as we rode along the "fence" separating the United States from Mexico watching for illegals crossing into our country. After spanning three time zones (Pacific, Mountain, Central), we arrived in Alpine, TX in time for some pizza and cold soda before calling it a night.

| Not sure if this is Arizona or New Mexico - they both look the same! |

This picture was taken of an illegal climbing over the border wall as we passed east of El Paso.
Not sure if he's armed or dangerous but looking at that determined face means there may be trouble. |
