April 11, 2017 - El Paso, Texas |
||||||
| Maggie drove us down to El Paso for our flight home. We had some time to kill so we checked out the El Paso Scenic Drive Park. | ||||||
 |
||||||
|
Overlooking El Paso. Or is it Juarez?
|
||||||
 |
||||||
| We had breakfast at the L & J Cafe, ranked the best in El Paso. | ||||||
 |
||||||
|
Some Huevos Rancheros action.
|
||||||
 |
||||||
| Great place. Recommended. | ||||||
 |
||||||
| Then we checked out the El Paso zoo. | ||||||
 |
||||||
| Elephant: largest living land animal. | ||||||
 |
||||||
|
|
||||||
 |
||||||
| Tiger! Malayan Tiger, to be exact. | ||||||
 |
||||||
|
The Mongolian wild horse. These are the little ponies the Mongol Empire (1206–1294) -- beginning with Genghis Khan -- used to conquer everything from China all the way to Budapest.
|
||||||
 |
||||||
| The very rare Amur Leopard, of southeast Russia. | ||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
| Prairie dog! | ||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
| Sleepy lioness. Or is it a mountain lion? | ||||||
 |
||||||
| Some kind of varmint. | ||||||
 |
||||||
|
Giraffe. And with that our road trip was over. Maggie dropped us off at the airport and we flew back to Baltimore. |
