Travelling Pictures II

This last picture was taken from the Mexico side of the Rio Grande, looking over to Laredo, Texas. It was kind of an emotional moment.

Travelling Pictures

I tried to post this twice, and it keeps not showing the pictures. I think maybe I can't put more than 3 pictures at a time, so here are some pictures related to my previous post. I really love the terrain. It's dry, with lots of cactus plants. But even thought it's fairly flat, there are huge rocky mountains jutting up here and there.

I'm Home From Mexico

Carolina and I are now home from Mexico. I have all kinds of things I want to blog about related to my trip. I went down last Monday, January 1st, and we drove back starting Sunday the 8th until about 8:30 Monday evening. The total drive time from Durango, Mexico to Searcy, Arkansas was about 24 hours.


One of the most striking things to me about Mexico's terrain is the fantastic mountains. They generally aren't that big compared to the large mountain chains in the USA, but they are very sharp, as if these huge rocks were just thrust up through the surface.


This last picture was an important moment. It's a view from Nuevo Laredo, Mexico across the Rio Grande to Laredo, Texas on the other side. We sat in line for what seemed like forever, but we finally made it across.
