We enjoyed a complimentary breakfast at the camp lounge this morning. We met a retired couple who were former teachers. They were very inquisitive about our homeschooling, in a polite way. The husband was funny & sociable, telling the kids the same kind of corny jokes my dad tells (Hi, Dad! Love ya!)
Then it was time to hit the road. It wasn't long before we crossed into Texas. Moving into El Paso takes you right next to the US/Mexico border, just like the day we drove to Yuma. We had to pass through a border inspection, which led to a discussion about immigration with the kids.
The drive was simple &, although a long distance, it was made shorter due to the speed limit being 80 mph! I set the cruise control to 78 since my RV's maximum vehicle speed is 80 & I didn't like its frequent automatic slowdowns as we moved up & down slopes. The road terrain is pretty flat, but still has some gentle hills. Off in the distance we could see craggy mountain ranges, but only once did we have to actually climb one.
Tonight we are staying in Big Springs, which is between Midland & Abilene. Tomorrow - Dallas!
