El Paso: The Texas That Doesn't Feel Like Texas 🇺🇸🤠🇲🇽

Spent 2 days in this border gem where: • Spanish flows louder than English 🇪🇸 • Every meal is a fiesta of tacos & carne asada 🌮🔥 • Military bases blend with street art (Hunger Games vibes with all those ★ symbols!) 📸 Snapshots of a Unique City 🎨 Museum of Art: The building > the exhibits (sorry not sorry). 🏢 Downtown El Paso: Post-war buildings now housing quirky markets & pawn shops. Pro tip: Look for hidden murals! ⛰️ Hueco Tanks State Park: Permit-needed adventure spot 🪂 Bouldering/hiking heaven (dusty but epic). ✖️ Border Monument "Big-X": Artist Sebastián says the "X" = fusion of Indigenous + Spanish cultures (mestizaje). Instagram vs Reality: Smaller than expected but symbolic AF. Why El Paso? Where else can you: • Hear mariachi at a Walmart? • Spot tanks and taco trucks in one glance? #ElPaso #BorderLife #TexMexEats #TravelDifferently
