52 nice flat sunny miles from El Paso to Fort Hancock, Texas. Sightseeing along the way at the San Elizario mission where we said a prayer for the safe travel of our group. The town of San Elizario has been spruced up, has a little history trail, some art galleries. Apparently large groups of women cyclists are an unusual sight in this town. The museum director came over and opened the museum for us.(Actually we were more interested in the restrooms than the museum exhibits.). People drove in from out-of-town and stopped to talk with us. School children waved and liked our bikes. We went from being celebrities in a restaurant to being a tourist attraction.
Billy the Kid is also famous here as well as in Silver City. Apparently he broke into a jail here to get a friend of his out.
We ended the day with laundry, dinner, pecan pie (no picture, ate it too fast) and a beautiful sunset.
You're a celebrity! But we always knew that. Can't believe how quickly you are moving across the ole U S of A. Not much new here but we miss you. Keep on pedaling!
