Day 2 - On To New Mexico

We continued east on I-10 today, arriving at a beautiful destination - Las Cruces NM.  The view of the Organ Mountains coming in from the west is outstanding.


The scenery on this leg of the trip looked a lot like scenery all over Arizona and New Mexico.  Lots of long vistas to the horizon and many mountain ranges on all sides.  And cool rocks.




I cheated and got this pic off google images, but I love those mountains so much I had to do it!


We drove (only 1 mile) to the authentic, historical village of Mesilla (pronounced Mehseeya) and it felt like we were in Mazatlan again.  Ate a Andele restaurant which was awesome.


Of course, there is a cathedral at one end of the plaza.  I failed to get a photo of the narrow neighborhood streets, which made it feel like Mexico.



We just can't get enough of this type of architecture.  There must have been some sort of festival recently; notice the luminaries on top the one house.




Here's where we had a meal.  As you can see, Yvonne got a small appetizer nachos.
