The flights were uneventful, the bikes arrived in one piece!  A very good start.  We got a preview of the topography while landing.

El Paso is a very attractive city, but there doesn't seem to be much happening.

When I inquired with a local as to what is the dominant local industry, "Bars" was the answer.

We had enough time in the afternoon for a brief visit the El Paso Museum of History.  There is a lot about El Paso to learn.  Did you know they grow cotton?

We found a very quaint out of the way Mexican restaurant for dinner (of course, what else would we eat) courtesy of TripAdvisor.
