Today we decided to do very little driving. We headed into Old Mesilla (which is pronounced ma-see-ya, not Ma-sill-a as the girl at the RV Park counter so kindly pointed out). Mesilla was incorporated in 1848 andthere are a few building still standing from those days which is pretty cool especially since they are made of sand, clay and water. The courthouse where Billy the kid was tried, convicted and sentenced to hang is now a Billy the kid gift shop. We had l...

Today was the day we set out across Texas. We thought about staying in the RV Park we were in but when we woke up it was pouring rain, so we packed up our stuff and headed west. It was interesting to see the terrain change as we drove. We started noticing more and more cacti and less other vegetation.There were sections of the interstate where the wind was pretty strong. I guess I was not the first person to notice this as there were hundreds and hundreds of wi...

We woke up today and now it is time for bed…Some stuff happened in between… I guess I can come up with something… As you read this blog you might be reading it in my voice. I think you will prefer if you read it using the voice of the guy that does the voice-overs for Fred savage in the wonder years. Try it out and see if it makes it more interesting? We drove about 500+ kilometers today though the rest of Arkansas and into Texas. It was nice to see the co...

We got up nice and early this morning and headed into Memphis. We stopped by Elvis' place but he wasn't home, must have left the building.

We thought it would be nice to do a hike along the Mississippi river and the super friendly guy at the tourist centre gave us the ...

We got up this morning and had another nice leisurely breakfast and hit the road. We started driving and then decided we would hit Lynchburg another time when Brigette can have a sip or two of Tennessee's finest whiskeys. With the weather still being cold and Mira being in a bit of a bad mood, we decided to make today a travel day. We bypassed Louisville, probably not much to see there except a big wooden bat of the baseball variety. There are probably wooden bat...
