March 8, 2017. Las Cruces Mexico to El Paso Texas 49 miles. 903 miles from the Pacific. And a great day to be on the bike pedaling through the desert. I awoke at my warm showers Host to the smell of pecan pancakes. Two other bikers were also staying here for the night. Las Cruces is a nice town. I was thinking “I could live here” as a pedaled my way past the purple mountain majesty on my way to El Paso. I ride past Vineyards, pecan orchard’s, and old Spanish churches as I follow the waterless Rio Grande south. Then into the city of El Paso which was a little hair-raising and scary. Evidently they don’t believe in bike paths or bike lanes. Everyone drives a big pick up trucks or SUV’s. I haven’t seen a Prius since I left New Mexico. After lunch horse and I make our way to Fablab El Paso where we spend the afternoon talking Fabulousness which is one of my passions. I hope you got a chance to spend time with your passion today as well. Cheers
