Pecos, Texas

We drove as far as Pecos today. It's a little over 400 miles from home. The drive was mostly made with the DVD players running which doesn't really interfere with the sightseeing out here. West Texas, much like East Texas, is relatively flat and dry. The landscape was even more depressing in that nearly every bush along the way has caught and held an empty plastic bag blown in from somewhere. Pecos its self is a sad town. The buildings are old, but not historic, the restaurants are mostly closed on Sundays or For Sale and the movie theater is only open two nights a week. We had dinner at the motel and went to bed early. Sunil is feeling poorly so we may need to attempt to find a doctor in the morning.
