The Mesa Inn

We’ve found a really nice place to stay here in El Paso.

$153 for a week?  I’ll take it.

Sure, it lacks some of your finer amenities like jacuzzi tubs and smoke detectors.  But I’m not here for luxury, I just need a place to sleep.

You know that 60 minutes segment where they go into a hotel room and find all kinds of semen on everything with a black light?

They’ve completely saved us the trouble of finding and procuring a black light.

The second knob in the shower is just a failsafe anyways, and the beds smell basically clean.

The holes in the lampshades allow more light out, and it’s a good way to remember which ones work.

Our ground floor window doesn’t lock, but keeping the panes in the frame is a much more pressing concern anyway.

Nothing a little bit of duct tape can’t correct.

This morning we awoke to the sound of people going at it in the rooms on both sides.  That’s just statistically improbable.

This is the luckiest room in the world.

When you’re this lucky, you don’t need working deadbolts.

That place was so gross.

If I remember correctly I think it was your mom that recommended staying there.

I could be wrong. 

I remember being excited that it had a pool, and then we looked at it and realized there was no water in it.  Sad day for a 10 year old.
