You know you're in El Paso when...

Monday, December 19th

You know you're in El Paso when...

1. ...when you're at an orchestra rehearsal, and a violinist shows up late...dressed in a blue ranchero uniform...because she just came from a mariachi gig.

2. ...when you get off the plane and the first sign you see says "Bienvenidos a El Paso."

3. ...when you can ask any random kid on the street, "Where does your grandma live?" and they reply "In Juarez".

4. ...when your friends' names are Andres, Alberto, and Carlos...but you call them Albert, Andy, and...well...Carlos.

5. ...when "Chili's" closes at 10pm

Ahhhhh...home sweet home.

ps. Eastern route "Yuma" number nine is somewhat slow. "Ebus Xenodochium Yris"
