As we continued west in Texas...

| ...finally we got to El Paso... |

| ... there are these "interesting" art pieces next to an overpass along I-10 -- it seems that the Airway Gateway sculpture is intended to be a visual welcome to visitors who have flown in to El Paso (this is at the Airway Blvd overpass) and who are likely be be finding their way on I-10 to get around. The sculptures are lit with different colors at night, and they contain wind turbines to produce the energy to run the lights (https://www.colorkinetics.com/global/showcase/el-paso-airway). |

| Just a few miles further and we were welcomed into New Mexico. |
We drove to Deming for the night, where we stayed at a winery that is part of the Harvest Hosts program.

| We forgot to take pictures at the winery - but I took a picture after we left in the morning as we were passing by the building after we had gotten back on I-10. You might be able to just barely see the front windshield and side of a motorhome behind the building in the far left part of the picture. We had a nice night there, though we were very close to the interstate and there were train tracks just on the other side of the interstate - our HEPA air filter makes enough white noise that we don't get overly bothered by noises outside. |
Just need to finish getting through New Mexico, and we'll be back in Arizona!
