El Paso | The Day I Saw Mexico Beyond the Mountains 🇲🇽✨

El Paso isn’t just a border city—it’s a warm, vibrant embrace of cultures, sunsets, and soul. That moment on the rooftop, cocktail in hand, watching golden light spill over the Franklin Mountains? I knew: just beyond those peaks lay another world, another home. 💛 Memorial Day Trip: Day 1 in West Texas 📍 Why El Paso?
