Heading back to Tucson, where we spent a couple of days prior to leaving for Mexico. We'll leave Alex there and just drive Carrie across the border.
As we left Organ Pipe Cactus N.M. one of the Rangers suggested a restaurant for us to eat lunch which serves desert products. Lunch was interesting and it was fun to eat cactus products that we had been reading about.
