El Paso, Texas



We have traveled to El Paso, Texas this week. The Rio Grande is a small river here compared to the hugh river it becomes. We can look across the Rio Grande river and see the town of Juarez, Mexico. With current problems, we have absolutely no desire to visit Mexico.




We spent a day and went to the White Sands National Monument in New Mexico. It is located close to Alamogordo, New Mexico. The White Sands cover 275 square miles, so if you have been to the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado then consider them to be a very small portion of the White Sands. The sand was so white, that we quickly became "sand blind", which is just like "snow blind", and it was difficult to see texture or shape in the sand. Kyoto and Osaka seemed to enjoy bouncing around in the sand. Osaka was buried up to her belly, but just kept trying to get up the dune with Joe & Kyoto. At the time that we went to White Sands, the sand was not hot yet, so the dogs did not have a problem walking on it. The sand was very fine, and did I say very, very, very white?


Can you pick out who left which track?
