Front desk person - "Hahaha! you want to walk to were? that's really far away!"
Us - "Well it says on the city sheet... I'm sure Nelly is right!"
Front desk person - "Well I guess you could walk it if you really wanted to... go to messa and take a Left...
Us - "Then we'll see it?"
Front desk person - "No... it's a ways!"
We disided to do it anyways! So off we went ... we took a left on Messa went to the block that it said on the city sheet... no starbucks ... they were right. We thought well do we go back to the hotel and watch some spanish soap opera? Or should we get our excersize for the day and go on an edventure? We chose the adventure :)
With a fix of the wardrobe we were off. We walked and walked and walked and let me tell you we were seeing no mermaid! We asked a guy on the street if he knew were the Starbucks was... he said "Ummm... yeah it's about 10 - 15 blocks up..." and by up he really ment it... 10 - 15 blocks up hill!!!! Having gone too far to turn around and by this time we've worked up an appatite! So it was crusial that we get there!By the time we go to the top of the hill we were famished ... I mean we are in the desert without anywater, dehydration was starting to set in this was seriouse! We were grabbing on to everything that could hold out weight!
I mean we both had those big bags to cary ... This was life or death! I look behind us...
Yeah so the street ends when you get to El Paso st. ...witch is the one that we turned left on ... so far right! This is what was in front of us...
Yeah nothing right! While I was taking these pics, Christie went down!
I look back and she's out for the count the walk had really gotten too her! I slapped her across the face a couple of times and gave her to most inspirational pep talk ... I mean it was really good... I couldn't think of a metaphor. Anyways, we stumble to the end of the hill and we we see it! It was magical I have never been so elated to see the white and green circle in my life!
We ran!!! You know like when a hours sees it's stable it just starts galloping, you may not have gotten it to go more than a sluggish trot, but as soon as you round that corner the stupid thing takes off! Well that was us ... a sudden burst of energy came over us! it was amazing!
We ran inside! ordered our favorites and enjoyed the amazingness of Starbucks:
Yeah you can call me a heffer if you want! I earned it! Practically walked back to New York... We were so satisfied and so sad when it was gone!
It wouldn't be right if something didn't go wrong... when we got up to leave, Christie thru away our garbage... well here, I'll show you this pic let know if you notice anything:
The garbage cover was not on the can... lol but she still with confidence dropped everything in it... she wasn't the frist to do it too! The worker that lifts that is going to not like the way her day is going... but it was just what we needed for our hike back! You know having walked around the town for so long, we got a good feel of it...Once we finally got home we were pooped so we took a nap! hahaha I have to say it's not that cute! Very very very run down! What was it like when you were born dad ... do you remeber? ;)

Hey I forgot I took these... I woke up really early on the bus! So I took these pics from the front lounge:)
Notice there's only one car in all those pics! ... Welcome to Texas!-----
So that night we had our end of tour party. We wanted to do it when everyone was available and Wednesday was the only time. So Michele organized everything at the Hotel bar... we got free hors d'oeurves and 2 drinks for free, and they had a special on some very sensible Margareta's:) Mom you would have loved it!
It was so random in the dumps of the downtown area ... we had this amazing hotel! The bar was georges!
It had a Tiffanie's dome!! Yes from Tiffanie's like "Breakfast at!" here is it:
Just stunning! It's just so out of place it makes me think that El Paso used to be a booming matropilis! But anyway the party! The food was meteroker at best... but the companie was great! And because it was our last time to really do it up with everyone we got dressed! You know it's a party when the red pants come out!!!
Or... the green mullet:) It was really fun we ate, drank, sociazed and then twards the end of the night we did what every sivilezed adult does... smash a pinyata!
Yep ... we broke Dora! ... some people think that she's the reason for our show closing... I think it's the economy ... but anyway it was kind of nice to get out some pent up aggression:) hahaha I was a great closing night party!Hey love you all! Talk to you later:)
