This map shows you where we will be for the first part of Texas. El Paso is the first bubble on the left. Here the Rio Grande is completely dry.
Here we can look out over the border into Mexico.

March 23, Sunday, day 17: Texas!
Today was 58 miles from Las Cruces New Mexico to El Paso Texas. It might have been a lovely ride were it not for the extremely strong headwinds and crosswinds and the dust that got stirred up in the agricultural areas. We all looked like bandits with bandannas and scarves across our faces. Nevertheless, it was possible to hear birds again. (When we were riding through the desert it was absolutely quiet. Very spooky.)
We stopped for lunch in El Paso and became kind of celebrities. The restaurant staff wanted to know what we were doing. Someone from the next table overheard us talking about it and asked if she could take our picture. So here we are!
