El Paso, Texas


We are now in El Paso, in fact, have been for a few days now. We tried to get our ice maker fixed but the repair man here really didn't know what he was doing so we had him remove it completely from the freezer to give me more freezer space, not like I needed it.


The weather has been wonderful and the people going on our Mexico caravan have been coming in each day since we've been here. It is fun meeting new people and getting everything in order for the trip.


We went to lunch today at a Golden Coral, Texas style. We thought that all Golden Corals were the same. NOT! This was geared towards the people eating there, Mexicans. There were some flags made by school children that I thought were neat. They were made out of the construction paper rings that we used to make and connect and directorate our Christmas trees with. You can see in the picture that they were neat. There was an American flag, a Mexico flag, and a flag of Texas. I have the American and Texas on in the picture.



Texas and American Flags made out of paper rings.

That just about does it for now. I will be creating a "blog" page for our Monaco's in Motion and will add a link here when it is all set up.

Crossing Texas

Just a quick update to let you know where we are. We are spending the night at a KOA campground in Junction, Texas. The weather today improved by allowing us to see the sun and get warmer. Still in the 60's but better than the 40's or lower. We will drive tomorrow to Fort Stockton and then on Tuesday we make it to El Paso, Texas, our final destination before our big adventure.

Our biggest problem is that we had our refrigerator serviced in Orlando, Florida and the ice maker hasn't worked since. I've tried everything to get it to work so I guess now is the time to seek professional help. There is a repair shop at the campground in El Paso and I am hoping that they will be able to help us. We also hope to get our coach serviced for it's 60,000 mile checkup before we cross the border.

Check with you later down the road.
