First day in Texas. Since today was a free day for those of us who flew in a day early, a few of us decided to explore downtown El Paso. We started at the art museum. Part of the museum is under construction but we did get to see some interesting local art and also works by the students from the museum school.
Next, we road the streetcar (trolley) which makes two loops. One goes around uptown which is more suburban and the other goes around the historic district.
After the streetcar, we stopped at a little Thai/Mexican restaurant called Lick It Up. Kind of a hipster place with delicious food. We think it is named after the Kiss album.
Next we walked around the historic district looking at street art and eventually walking along El Paso street which is filled with small Mexican style shops and ends just before the border to Juarez. Luckily, we turned around before we had to show our passports haha.
Tomorrow we leave bright and early for Ft Davis National Historic Site then on to Terlingua near Big Bend.
