The drive into Las Cruces was nice with wide roads, fewer big trucks and the overpasses were decorated.  Makes the trip more interesting.  And we had great weather!
100_8584After getting set up we took a couple of days to visit some of the sights around the area.  Our first stop was the old town of La Mesilla.  This was an original stage stop.
100_8588Many years ago the building above was used as a Butterfield Stage stop.  It now houses a nice restaurant, where we had lunch, and a couple of gift shops.

100_8585Above is the old Mission.  It sits at the end of the Plaza where many fiestas and activities still take place in La Mesillia.

As we walked around the old town area we came upon this quaint little shop.  It sells all sorts of stuff.  Bright colored chairs out front, Metal sculptures, knick-knacks and also is a flower shop. 
Back to the RV for a little nap and dinner.  Tomorrow we will drive out to the White Sands Park.
