Back in the USA.

We are now in the Best Western in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Watching Burn Notice on the USA Network. Funny thing. We have Canadian satellite TV in Mexico . . . and Canadian satellite TV doesn't have USA Network.

We got an even later start this morning -- and got a little lost getting out of Torreon. We didn't arrive here until 6:30. Except we got an hour back because we're now on Mountain Time. It was really 5:30. Yay!

We barely stopped on the way, so there's not a lot to say about the drive. We moved into desert. We drove through Chihuahua.

It took about an hour to get through the line in customs -- but once we hit the front of the line, we got though in a minute.

Our hotel is only about 45 minutes from the border. They have a restaurant attached (Tres Amigos) and the hotel is dog friendly . . . so, who could resist? They're really, really dog friendly. I already don't like the barky little dogs next door. I'm not complaining. Honest!

We were here about a minute and it started pouring. We were here about 20 minutes and heard thunder. After 30 minutes, we lost power. But at least they have windows that open, or we'd cook. Ross had to go to the restaurant to order dinner, because the phone didn't work. The poor waiter guy had to come here twice for clarification, because the phone didn't work. About a minute after he brought our salads, the power came back. Yay.

Da boyz are SO good at traveling. And sitting in a truck all day seems to make them as tired as it does us.

Tomorrow, Denver.
