The crossing of Texas and Hueco Tanks. La traversee du Texas et Hueco Tanks

After 10 days in South Padre, it was time to leave as we had a deadline to get to Las Vegas for Henri's Birthday. The boys had been very curious about Sin City and Henri had been asking to be there for his birthday Dec. 28 so we caved in.

Apres 10 jours a South Padre, c'etait le temps de quitter car nous devions etre a Las Vegas pour la fete de Henri le 28 Decembre. Les garcons ont toujours ete curieux a propos de Las Vegas et Henri nous avait demandé de passer sa fete la.

Texas was very long to cross, a bit like Ontario but it was beautiful and surprising because as soon as we left the tropics of South Padre, we entered the desert. What gorgeous scenery we saw and it was nice to drive on a straight highway (10)!

Le Texas fut long a traverser, un peu comme l'Ontario mais ce qui nous a surpris c'est que des que nous avons quitté les tropiques de South Padre, nous sommes brusquement entrés dans le desert! Quels beaux paysages et quelle joie de conduite sur une autoroute moins achalandee et droite (10).

Nous sommes arretés 2 jours a Hueco Tanks, pres de El Paso. Quel endroit fantastique surtout pour faire du 'bouldering'.

We stopped for 2 days at Hueco Tanks, a National Park on the border of New Mexico and Texas close to El Paso. What a beautiful place in the desert especially to do some 'bouldering'.

So soon after leaving the palm trees and birds, we enter the desert!

Boys love bouldering and attempt boulder problems on the campground structures!
