As we started our decent into the Lone Star State, I kept my nose firmly pressed against the window pane. I managed to get to my camera and take a few photos of what was below us - Mexico!
In the top photograph, the round darker spots appear to be crops..or maybe they are crop circles???
Out in the west , Texas town of El Paso, from the air. The Rio Grande, (known in Mexico as the Río Bravo) conjures up all kinds of images of the Old West when battles were fought between Texans, Indians and Mexicans. Bandits, Outlaws, Texas Rangers...the goodies in white, the baddies in black. ( Cue Ennio Morricone Spaghetti Western music here, as I did on my MP3 player!! ) But looking down here from the plane, I thought of modern day Mexicans trying to cross over into the "Land of the Free". Border Patrol cars would be a common site later on during our trip.
