Last night was not the best. The eczema that has bothered me for years was in high gear, and the itching kept me awake for most of the night. Oh, well - nobody wants to hear about that.
We left the Circle Cross just before 7 a.m. MDT; first heading east, then south. We wanted to make another stop at Carlsbad Caverns. We did half of the easier self-guided tour. John would probably have done the whole thing, but there was a guy who wanted to follow us and talk the whole time, so John bailed out with me. The Caverns are incredible - the first folks who saw it must have been literally awestruck. We left there about noon, and continued south, picking up I-20 at Pecos, TX.
We love stopping at tiny places in the southwest to get Mexican food, and we found a great one today. Called La Nortena, it's in Pecos and is mainly a drive through for tamales and other delicacies. We went in and got 3 red and 3 green tamales and sat at one of the two tables to eat. It was divine! Be sure to look it up if you're ever in the neighborhood.
Now that we're on I-20, we'll just stay there until we get to Birmingham and head to Chattanooga on I-59. We got into our motel here in Big Spring, then started out for another local Mexican place. We finally found La Posada, and had another good dinner. There was a strong, brief thunderstorm while we were in the restaurant, but it was all over by the time we came out.
Back to the motel for some Benadryl, lots of lotion on my arms and legs, and an early bedtime.
Today's picture is a view of one of the manmade lakes on the Circle Cross.
