We left the Dream Catcher Inn this morning after another fabulous breakfast. We had all day to get to our next destination (Willcox AZ) so we took our time and did some exploring in old town Las Cruses which is called La Messilla.


There are a number of shops and restaurants in some quaint old buildings.


The drive to Willcox was pretty well a drive in the desert on a dead straight and flat road.


The only distraction was having to produce our Passports for the Border Patrol. We did manage to find a winery at Deming NM and stopped to have a sample. New Mexico does have a fairly productive vineyard region which is powered by a drip irrigation system.


We arrived in Arizona at around 4:00 pm which we found out was really 3:00 pm as Arizona does not adopt daylight savings time. We had time to unwind before supper.


Tomorrow we are off to Chiricahua National Monument for some hiking and photography.
