We all shared this one room shack. Three nights, five people. Despite sand storms and really freaky desert people, we all made it out alive...I'd like to give you a little tour, and perhaps you, like my parents will better understand why not many people take walking toddlers to West Texas...everything has spines.
Let me show you this little succulent I just plucked from the ground...(luckily not prickley, or pwicky, as I say)
Now there's Papa loading stuff into the back of the vehicle. But over here, you have a virtual cornucopia of prickly things...
And this could be a fossil, or a rock, or some scary remnant of a mercury mine from nearby...
Here are some photos by Mom, just to give you a small sampling of the dangers that await you in West Texas. (Because we have some agave plants at home, I was very good and didn't have any run-ins with these prickly characters - click on it to get the full effect of that ocotillo plant on the left)
