Everyone has a role to play on a road trip. I am a firm believer of this. Some are suited for long stretches of driving. Others are best utilized as a co-pilot, map reader, snack and beverage opener. That’s me. But today was my day to drive. Although experiencing west Texas at obscene speeds has been the highlight of my experience thus far, my co-pilot needs some training. When it came time to eat breakfast we were in El Paso and had a wealth of choices for local gastronomic satisfaction. Alas, Rich was not up for the task of making a decision about where to eat and before we knew it, we had passed the entire city.
R: “I was busy taking pictures of Mexico.”
D: “You know, if we had stopped somewhere to eat we could have taken better quality pictures of our neighboring friends to the south.”
It all worked out in the end. We stopped in historic Mesilla New Mexico and had the most amazing brunch ever. The Double Eagle is in the oldest building in Mesilla and the buffet brunch was excellent. With beautiful décor and great food, my eyes and stomach were very satisfied. Rich opted for an omelet with everything in it. I went for, Enchiladas, steak rancheros, potatoes and cheese blintzes
After our first real meal on this entire trip we strolled through the little town and went into Wild Bill’s Gift Shop, which is the same building that once housed the courthouse that tried Wild Bill. Very cool man, very cool.
