And even more continuing west in Texas

As we continued west in Texas...

Now we were in the plains of west 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!
