Hotel at last

I find that hunger makes for extreme brevity. Fortunately, I no longer feel the need for extreme brevity, having visited "Blakes Lotaburger" subsequent to the previous post. This was recommended by the lady at the front desk, so we set off in search of food. Alas, it turned out to be fast food (why would anybody suggest fast food as one of the better places in town? Perhaps the culinary arts in Carlsbad, NM, are not as refined as I've come to expect.....)

Today's drive from Austin made me realize something that I've known for awhile, but never in such a personal fashion. That something would be the fact that Texas is indeed BIG. Really BIG. This is somewhat compensated for by the speed limits along most of the way, but it is still BIG.

Thankfully, it turned out that there actually is a place where Texas actually ends and something else begins, in this case New Mexico. Our trip has begun!
