Houston Road Trip Day 4

 Hello Everyone,

Well, we made it to Texas, and we will be leaving Ozona this morning and head to either Austin or Houston.

The freeway system in El Paso was a maze of over and under passes which really surprised us.

There were a lot of signs saying not to pick up any hitch hikers, and there was one inspection station where we had to stop.  Once we stopped, we were waved right on through without the car being inspected.  I guess they saw some quilting things and figured there wasn't any room for a passenger.

The landscape at times is interesting, but we got do bored we started a roadkill list. We are up to:

3 coyotes, 2 undetermined carcasses, 1 rabbit and 3 snakes.

Mr. Joe takes me only to the finest dining establishments.  This restaurant came highly recommended by the hotel staff for Texas BBQ.

Mr. Joe is into smoking meats, but this smoker looked a little sketchy.

This was the outdoor dining area.  It may look sketchy, but the food was good!  Everything was fine until the owner came out and proceeded to swat a mosquito off of Mr. Joe's forehead. Unfortunately, she was missing a few fingers and she missed.  I asked her to swat him again, but the mosquito was long gone by then.

The food was so good I think it should be featured on Drive-Ins, Diners, and Dives.

Houston here we come!

Soon,

Lynn
