Old El Paso, more than just a salsa

Jeff woke up just inside the city limits of El Paso, Texas.

And less than 10 minutes later, he announced, "I hate this place."

The source of his angst was the seemingly endless stretch of I-10 meandering along a northern hill overlooking the city to the south.

"The toughest part of this leg wasn't the desert, it's this city," he said.

In such a flat land your depth perception is similar to floating in the ocean. Looking down on a sea of lights, El Paso seemed vast, and every building appeared to be within a couple blocks but was actually miles away. It certainly was a frustrating final 10 miles.

We were told the market in Juarez, Mexico is the place to visit around here. Tomorrow we are going to explore transportation options across the border and update you on our success.

All I know is we can't get out of this town fast enough for Jeff, so if we have to cross a bridge to another country to get out of El Paso, so be it.
