It was close to 100 degrees outside of the car and nothing was around but desert and sand and small little dead bushes... tumbelweeds. Haley and I couldn't find anything but country to listen to, and I am not that fond of country but we dealt with it. There was really nothing to do. We managed to find a stop to take some pictures and stretch our legs. We hadn't been driving long and we still not even half way out of Texas.
We found a sign that said "watch for Rattle Snakes", that was rather amusing. You don't see that in the North.
It started to get dark and we passed those signs you see in cartoons that say stop and see the GIANT ANT FARM! DINOSAUR PARK!!!! THOUSAND YEAR OLD REMAINS!! It was amusing because we'd be driving for like several hours looking at nothing and then all of sudden hundreds of signs would pop up and say the most random things.
The sun had set, and we had seen one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world. A true Texan sunset :).... it was awesome! The colors mixed so well and it looked as if someone had taken water colors and just washed the sky with whatever they wanted.
The stars started to cover the dark velvet sky and Haley and I had finally made it to New Mexico. We hadn't stopped much and we were getting fairly tired. Our mother had set us up with one of her friends daughters to stay the night, but Haley and I really didn't feel like doing that. We made our way about 2, maybe hours into New Mexico and decided to stop for the night. Tomorrow we would travel across several Indian Reservations and would finally see the Grand Canyon!!
