Day 160: Texas: El Paso and Problems

June 13, 2016

Today was much better than last night ended up being.

Last night, I did some shopping and made a couple of quick calls while I had internet back at the car, and when I tried to turn it on, the car just did not. It took me nearly an hour to flag someone over to give me a jumpstart, as the windows were down, so I couldn't just leave. After that ordeal, I almost ran out of petrol because I cannot pre-pay at petrol pumps without a local post-code, and none of the shops were open! I managed to convince another person at the pumps to use her card, and I had to pay her in cash.

This all meant that I didn't get to El Paso until the afternoon today, and it was just too warm to do too much, and the museums won't be open until the morning.

I ended up checking out the downtown area, which had some incredible street art, and I could literally see Mexico from the road.

The culture in this city is awesome, so I'm going to stay another day and check out some of the things I wanted to do earlier.
