Okay, so you might be expecting tales of great peaks, stupendous wildlife, exotic flora and fauna – well there is that and lots more. And, I hope we have started to and will continue to communicate these things to you, for example, we saw a western coachwhip today, better known as a red racer snake today, think 6 or so feet, redish, and moving really fast on the ground!

But, you signed up for the unedited version. So, here goes ……..
We were out today, first day we drove into the big town, Alpine, Texas – look it up, a few thousand people. It has a McDonalds, a supermarket, post office, gas stations, radio shack, etc, and only a short 110 miles from Big Bend, or in west Texas lingo, right around the corner!
We got back to the apartment with a van full of groceries around 10:00 PM to put away. Did I mention the 2 growlers of free beer from Big Bend Brewing Company in Alpine – that will be another story.
But, it was warm, like 80 at night. It was then we realized that we had central air – first time ever in our lives.
We pressed a button, and we are not hot anymore – what else are they hiding in Texas we wonder!
