First day and a half.

Well I got in last night around 11:10.  My flight actually took off later and landed earlier.  It was a good flight though.  I didn't get a bad seat partner, other than that she took off her shoes and put her feet in the chair and they kept touching me. 
We were served dinner around 6:30, which was rice, beans, corn, and BBQ chicken, with a salad, roll, and dessert.  I think it was a brownie.  Then around 9:00 they came back around and gave us sandwiches.
One cool thing about the flight is that I did get a window seat.  I was able to watch the sun set over Mexico.  It was kind of cool.  When you fly in Texas, you don't see anything but clouds, and watching the sun set over Mexico there were a few Mountain tops peeking up through the clouds.  It was very pretty.

Sue and her companion came and got me from the airport.  I was able to get through customs easily.  Took about an hour in total, which considering, was very quick.  Then we drove back to their place where I stayed the night.  It's crazy, I think there were more people out at midnight than populate the city of Canyon.  I slept good, and then left to come to stay with some of the friends in a different part of the city.

Let me tell you about the driving.  OH MY GOODNESS.  The driving is probably the most scary thing that I have EVER experienced in my whole entire life.  It's like total anarchy on the roads.  I wish I would have had my camera or phone to take pictures, but I didn't think about it before I got in the car, and then I didn't really want to carry it on the bus with me.  Let me attempt to explain and then possibly I will be able to get a picture before I leave.  Take a normal one-way 3 lane road of Amarillo, add the traffic of Dallas, and then add pedestrians of Denver.  Oh, and the drivers are crazy.  For example, today we were in the lane that would normally go straight, but we needed to turn right, and the person in the lane that would normally turn right needed to go straight.  So at the same time, we turned and they went straight, and it was scary.  Oh and people love to lay on their horns.  Everyone is honking all of the time.  We stopped at a stoplight, and people were walking through the street trying to sell drinks, brooms, little random things, and wash your car.  I can't even do justice by attempting to explain it.  I will attempt to take a picture or video.  It is something else though.

Tomorrow not sure what the plans are, but sure it will be interesting.
