At last, a few rock mountains! - Enfin quelques tqs de cailloux!
The disappearing road - La route qui s'étend au loin
La Spunky
As we got closer and closer to the New Mexico state line, we were very excited about finally leaving Texas. These hours spent on this surreal road almost led us to question the purpose of us even being in the car in the first place. It did not matter so much that the surroundings did not change drastically from one state to another, but just seeing the name of another state would feel like we had indeed moved forward (something we had not felt for the past 24 hours). The most discouraging again was to see the road in the distance, which seemed to merge into the horizon. At times when we were all grumpy, it did not help at all. But we made it out of there (alive), and that's all that mattered at the time...Plus New Mexico is the land of Roswell, aka aliens, aka X-files (blink blink Katie), so what the heck!
Nous nous rapprochions petit à petit du Nouveau Mexique, et mentallement ça faisait du bien car on commençait à se demander pourquoi on se retrouvait dans cette voiture, au beau milieu du désert par moments. Le fait de savoir que nous allions enfin quitter le Texas, dont le paysage devenait de plus en plus aride, nous soulageait. Enfin, la route semblait nous mener quelquepart! Ca me fait penser à la chanson de Souchon (plus facile à écrire qu'à prononcer ça!)
on avance on avance ...pas assez d'essence pour faire la route dans l'autre sens...faut qu'on avance
