Big Bend National Park

Got up a hour earlier than we meant to, so when we realized it we all went back to bed.  Got up for real a little before sunrise and headed to Big Bend National Park.  We stopped for breakfast at Terlinqua, and then entered the park.

We drove to the Chisos Mountain Basin area and campground.  We saw about 12 species of birds and we all got at least 1 lifer, the Mexican Jay.  We also saw Cactus Wrens, Dark-eyed Junkos, White-Crowned Sparrow and a very cute Hermit Thrush.

We continued into the park for a ways and got some pictures of the blue bonnets, where they were finally on both sides of the road.  They we turned around and headed back to get Leta for dinner.

For dinner, we ended going to the same restaurant El Patio that we went to 4 years ago.  No the salsa wasn't any cooler, but dinner was good.

After dinner we took Leta for a ride to enjoy the sunset and country side.

Tomorrow it is off to Fort Davis
