This morning the phone rang just before 9am --- it was my mom wishing us happy anniversary. Ed and I looked at each other and realized we both had forgotten our anniversary or rather hadn’t realized that it was December 5th and thus our anniversary. We decided after all the travelling we’ve done in the last month; a quiet day was probably a good way to spend our anniversary. Unfortunately it meant no going out for a fancy dinner, we'll just have to do that another day.
Pancho Villa was a Mexican revolutionary who decided to raid the Furlong army camp (now Pancho Villa state park) in Columbus, New Mexico for supplies and ammunition. The raid was not successful and the American army pursued Pancho Villa back into Mexico but did not succeed in capturing him. Each year there is a re-enactment of the battle with many Mexicans riding their horses to the border. The park has a museum with information and items from the fort and several artifacts can be found on the park grounds.
Zaph and I enjoying the sun.
A very interesting looking plant. I don't think this area has had rain in a while as even the cactus plants are wilting.
One of the displays in the museum.
Zaph hanging around in one of the old armoured cars.
Columbus is less than a 5 minute walk from the state park. There isn't much to the town, this is the main street.
