We were up at out of Chisos Mountain Lodge by 8 a.m. We have 9 hours of driving time today to return to Dallas. As we drove down the mountain we were astounded at how much more beautiful this area is in the morning light with blue sky and wisp of clouds. We stopped repeatedly to take photos of the beauty around us.
We ate breakfast in Marathon at the same place we ate breakfast yesterday. It was so good yesterday. Today I got biscuits with jalapeno gravy. Damn it was spicy! Driving along highway 20 for hours was as boring as it sounds. We stopped for lunch in Clyde. The waitress said, "We are still under a boil water notice. We can't serve you any sodas, tap water, ice tea or coffee." Eating in a restaurant during a boil water notice felt like living on the edge.
We got to Fort Worth/Dallas area right around 5 p.m. Visitors to California always complain about the traffic. I wonder if they have ever been to Dallas. It was wild, plus the speed limit is 75 mph. I'm glad we arrived safely.
La Quinta Inn near Dallas Love Field is our home for the night. It is a lovely room but has no overhead light or light by the beds. I called down to see if we didn't understand the lighting situation in our room. Nope. That is the set up. On the wall above the bed is this "picture". It glows in the dark.
Gayle will get up early tomorrow and drive back to Potwin, Kansas. I will get on a plane back to Southern California and contemplate all that I have left undone because I was concentrating on what I have done. (eye roll)
