From New Orleans to Carlsbad Cavern in a week!

We're moving quick but packing in a lot of fun!

We left New Orleans last Friday and managed to squeeze in a trip to the Alamo,

two full days (and 15 miles of hiking) in Big Bend National Park, 

a tour of Ft. Davis National Park ( Gold Rush, Pioneers, Buffalo Soldiers, and Apaches), a visit to McDonald Observatory, a drink at the Paisano hotel in Marfa, TX (toasting James Dean, Elizabeth Taylor, and Rock Hudson of "Giant" fame),

 and a 3 hour stroll 1000 feet underground at Carlsbad Canvern. Whew!

Tomorrow we head to Roswell, NM. Stay tuned for some 'out of this world' photos!
