Odessa, Texas -- Saturday & Sunday

We left El Paso on Saturday morning and headed toward Odessa. We arrived in Odessa about 5:30pm and met Carol and Ron, Patsy's cousin, along with their oldest son, Shane, at a Chili's Restaurant for dinner. Here's the family photo:

To get in more visiting time, we made plans to go to Carol and Ron's house on Sunday at 1:00pm and spend the afternoon. Patsy offered to bring some of our shrimp and halibut filets from Puerto Penasco. Ron fried the fish, shrimp and hush puppies on his outside grill, while Patsy and Carol put the rest of the meal together and chatted. Shane and I made good use of Ron's WIFI that he had set up in the house. I did everyting but update this blog, which was a mistake, because none of the rest areas on I-20 had working WIFI!!!!

Here's photos of mealtime:

UPDATE:

I failed to mention a couple of posts back about my gifts from our traveling friends. Mike and Linda gave us a CD with a copy of all of their photos or our travels together and a photo taken by plane of our desert campsite in Quartzsite. Also, Bob and Linda gave us copies of their photos of the same time (took 3 CD's) period....... and Bob says it includes videos of Patsy and the 'ladies' dancing on the boat trip!! I also gave them a CD of our photos. Here's the loot:
