We say good bye to the mountains & the western states - Day 12

We left La Cruces, NM after our cooked  to order breakfast at Best Western. We got on I-10 East towards Texas. We had traffic near the US border patrol check-point past El Paso area. Luckily we got a head nod and a "go ahead" but we did see a few people pulled over to the side who were actively giving explanations to the officers.

We entered central time zone around central Texas area. As we drove on I-10 towards San Antonio, the sage brushes disappeared, the mountains dissipated, and the horizon got closer. It was sad to say good bye to the mountain ranges and the western states.

We got to Sonora, Texas around 8 PM CST. We are staying at a Days Inn tonight and we are headed towards Houston in the morning. Though we are eager to get home to family and loved ones, this trip is quite the bitter sweet experience as we say our good byes indefinitely to the west coast. We will surely return. When and how soon, we don't know....but we hope it will be soon.
