Arrived Tuesday evening and had a short orientation meeting. There are 20 people on our tour. Our tour guide, Teresa, said that this small a tour is very unusual. We walked to a Bosnian restaurant for dinner. Very interesting and good.Wednesday morning we had to have our luggage out at 6:30am. Breakfast was at 7 and on the bus by 8. Long day on the bus. We drove BACK TO DEMING. Yes, that's right. We went back the way we came. It turned out we missed something really neat in Deming. There is this museum that looks like an old town hall or something. We stopped there and found an amazing collection of stuff. I have never seen so many different kinds of geodes, from all over (and I have seen a lot of geodes). There is also a collection of whiskey bottles that look like ceramic sculptures. From Elvis to an eagle, to a chainsaw, cowboys.....and on. See some pictures above. There was also a braille version of Playboy magazine. Who knew?
Then we turned south to cross the border at Palamos. We made a point of pointing out the blimp. The guide didn't think it was important. So we told her it was. No problem crossing over to Mexico. We had lunch on the south side of the border while our guide finished the formalities.
We drove on for some more hours and ended up in Nuevo Casas Grandes. We stayed in a hotel that is just fine. (these hotels are not like the ones we stayed in in China, which were 5 star US hotels)
