I know I have said it a million times, but I can't believe how cheap food is down here. And a guy from Tennessee ( with the BEST Tunnsea accent) said prices have gone up noticeably for groceries in the past year. Wild!
Case in point: At a local little grocery store in Roswell, not one , but TWO different brands of BBQ sauce, 2 for a buck! That is 50 cents each, for those of you who can't do the math. Sick!
We left Roswell and drove through Las Cruces, NM, over to Benson, AZ, on Wednesday. We had to delay our trip by two days due to high winds and snow in New Mexico. Sheesh!
Anyway, back in the land of the giants in Benson, where it seems most people are around 6 feet tall or better. We drove to Tombstone yesterday and poked around there for a bit. Lots more people than last winter, I guess since it's Easter weekend. Then we drove south 20 miles to Douglas, which has a crossing over to Mexico. We saw the big wall stretching parallel to the highway for the 20 miles, but didn't have any urge to go into Mexico.

Above: Yes, 50 cents each.
Above/Below: Pistachio Nut Farm in Tularosa, New Mexico, on the way to Las Cruces. They have a huge store that sells all different flavours. We got the lemon/lime, garlic chili, and a couple bags of delectible pistachio brittle!
