As soon as we got on the highway leaving Austin, an oncoming car rolled over a skunk, causing it to squirt its nastiness all over our car. Not too pleasant. Otherwise, the drive to El Paso was pretty painless. With an open road and a speed limit of 80 mph, we cruised all the way across west Texas, which I'm pretty sure is where they send you when you die. We stopped to get gas in Nowhere, USA and were greeted by airplane turbine strength wind that was hot as hell.
We arrived in El Paso around 8 (mountain time now). Some spicy Latino boys greeted us at the front door of the Camino Real Hotel and gave us our room assignment on the 12th floor. The room boasted a clear view of a rooftop wedding reception next door at the first high-rise Hilton in the US.
