Bowie Bakery has the best Pan Dulce, you missed out if you didn't try out their Mexican sweet bread.

[@MultiRabe]

We're the Russos I did 16wks of Army Basic Training in El Paso (Ft Bliss)...im sure that city is much diff now, then when I was last there 36yrs ago

[@LA-oe6tz]

I was at Ft. Hood. I remember nothing but a bunch of strip joints. I also saw the biggest wall of red dust approaching us from I - 10 in a huge storm. It was beautiful!

[@MultiRabe]

Walker Lee Humm, Ft Hood is quite a ways from El Paso!

[@Busybeeee]

I LOVE El Paso and I couldn't wait for you guys to make this video. I'm Canadian and I have been traveling there 3 times a year for the past 7 years. I get dental work done in Juarez and cross the Bridges of Americas every time. What I love best? The Franklin Mountains, the first thing I see when I land. I love the dry desert climate and of course the SUN! It's always sunny in El Paso hence why it's called Sun City. I also love the fact that a high percentage of people are Hispanic. It's like a little Mexico and if you are learning Spanish like I am it's great! I love going to the Farah fountains in the summer evenings and having tea at La Madeleine's my favorite french Cafe (I'm French!). The people are so friendly! El Paso also has great surrounding places to visit like White Sands, The hot springs in Truth of Consequence NM, Ruidoso in NM, Carlsbad Caverns... I really hope you guys can come back and visit those areas :-) Great Video!

[@krayziecorvette1896]

Busybee El Paso loves you

[@Denise_Suzanne]

I grew up in El Paso and miss the food, the mountains, the people, and the clouds so much!

[@royshores972]

I'm from TN but lived in El Paso in 1970. Took me 2 weeks for my belly to acclimate. Great food, good heat. For the most part, good people.

[@EatSleepRVRepeat]

Lou got so happy when this video started... I put two days worth of videos on queue since we're a bit behind. And than I hear her in the background "I'd love to meet Kate, she seems like such a happy person." -Angie

[@jamiegodwin9881]

Very cool that they included Leo in your TV spot!!

[@richardquinones2959]

I'll be honest guys it just don't feel the same without Leo rip you guys give him an awesome life God bless you guys💜😇🙏

[@Deemac1236]

Awww I caught a glimpse of darling Leo 😢

[@bobshaw4063]

I miss him already in the vlogs. RIP......Leo

[@jillsmiles]

I’ve never thought of El Paso as a “destination”. Thanks for changing my mind! And yes, I miss Leo! 😔

[@DesertPepper]

i miss him too...

[@cdlady54_95]

Ok, I joined Costco because of you guys, rethought joining Planet Fitness at the black card level so I could keep up my exercise when I travel and now El Paso is on my list. I need new boots! The dogs were sniffing for both drugs and people. Mesa AZ was my family home for a while and when we visited Mexico it wasn't as easy a entry or exit as you just experienced. Enjoy and thank you!

[@frankp5786]

I grew up in El Paso, went to school there, graduated from UTEP - lived there for 40 years. I always found it to have the friendliest people and best Mexican food anywhere! Thanks for the memories! Safe travels......

[@MovingForwardAdventures]

We just made it to Indiana, Sabrina made us nachos and we started your video to find out that you guys were eating nachos too, so we plopped the laptop down on the dinette and joined you guys for dinner lol. The interview for the local news was awesome, we really enjoyed watching that and we love how the news anchor emphasized the word "chooses" to live in their van lol. Take care guys, safe travels and it was awesome meeting and hanging out with you guys last week. Hope to do it again someday and maybe I'll have my coffee game up to par by then:)

[@joycebarnett5813]

That was a great TV interview again. I did not know that El Paso looked as pretty as you made it to be. You got to some really cool places to camp. Thanks for taking me on this tour. Thanks for sharing

[@DavidHuffTexas]

If you're headed to Central Texas, here are a few places to stop: In San Antonio, Mi Tierra Café & Bakery dowtown is open 24 hrs, and has great Mexican food (my favorite is their Mexican breakfast items). In Lockhart, you'll find the center of the barbecue Universe for Texans. My favorite is Black's, but Smitty's and Kreuz Market are also good.

[@leisuretravelinlockes8037]

Hi Joe and Kait. Sorry to hear about Leo. He had a better life with the two of you. Looking forward to following your adventures.

[@lustraveller717]

You were making me so hungry. I'm home today sick with the stomach flu. As soon as I'm feeling better, I'm going to our local Mexican food place to have some nachos! You reminded me of my husband when you were eating the hot sauce. We would always break out in a sweat. Our kids and I would always crack up at him. On to more adventures!!!

[@chareagletalley2530]

Loved the video, and great tour of El Paso. That was also a great interview! My favorite part, though, was the end! Such a beautiful spot to end this video! Safe travels!!

[@katieseale77]

Loving your series. Just found you and started watching this past week. We have watched your entire van life series in a week. My husband and I are planning to do a year of travel in a couple of years with a travel van. Hence your videos have been informative and fun.

[@copdwarriormcdonald7968]

Great Videos again! You two makes it look easy and Glad you all getting the Local Media coverage. See you down the Road.

[@CanuckHogmaster]

Another excellent video, thanks for sharing with us desk travellers. The nachos in the early looked good, but looked more like a pizza.

[@BettyHorn]

If you're not already past it, since you're in the vicinity, why don't you check out Spur, Texas? It's the first town in the country to legalize tiny homes, and they're building an entire community.

[@reddevilparatrooper]

El Paso is a great place to visit. Just don't come in the morning, afternoon, and home rush hour traffic. The I-10 really sucks. I went to go visit my soldiers at Fort Bliss and had an awesome time. The nachos with hot salsa with garlic is my favorites. They make me cry with joy just eating them. Yummmy!!!!

[@paulmitchum8658]

Dunno if I'm behind your schedule, but in hill country Texas: Go to TX's oldest bakery in New Braunfels and picnic at Landa Park. Drive up River Road to Canyon Lake. There are state parks on the lake, also lots of places along the river.

[@cocokai9661]

Yay! Y'all are famous! That was a really great interview. And I loved the looks of El Paso!

[@nadiatraietti5348]

Big Bend NP. is a magical place and this is the time of year to visit! Wildflowers and cooler temps than in the summer or fall. I hope you all can stop there! Now that Leo has passed on it will be easier for you to enjoy the National Parks. I know that is very small comfort. I miss Leo’s calm, sweet presence in your videos.

[@ysanchez1891]

How I wish I could have meet.up with you. I live in El Paso and yes L&J is a great restaurant. I would.have loved to take you to Las Palmas Restaurant in East El Paso. They are true to the mexican cooking. Please let me know when you are back this way. Have fun

[@ka1133]

Well there you have it!!! Caught up. It was an enjoyable few days catching up. Looking forward the rest of the journey for the foreseeable future.

[@cdlady54_95]

Joe - you master cleaning the plate! Now, give me 15,000 steps! 🏋️‍♂️🚴‍♀️

[@Jomievolution8]

Thanks for the video again guys!!!! See you next week!!!

[@JoelAlbert1]

Liked the video, but would have liked to see where you all were parking to spend the night. It’s interesting too learn how you rise up to challenges of weather and shifting schedules and figure out where home is going to be. Thanks

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Awesome episode as always

[@hellenjones5129]

Living the dream. Have fun guys Russo’s rock

[@selectshelley]

These anchors did a very nice presentation and interview on you. Pretty cool😊

[@l-bird]

Wow, the sprawl. Looks like a great little city now. In the early 1970's it was just dusty and hot and not that inviting. Your interview went great! See you next week :)

[@DnSAdventures]

Love the channel and love the adventures! That is so cool that you guys are getting interviewed by local TV stations now! That is awesome. :) Have a great week - Shane

[@scenicdriveways6708]

As usual, another great video ! Thaks for sharing Jo and Kait . JT

[@martid]

Welcome "home" guys (I recall y'all established your residency in Texas). I never tire of seeing my home state from the perspective of others. I'm guessing these videos are a couple of weeks behind and you may have passed through Texas already, but I hope the next video is the Alpine/Marfa area or Big Bend National Park. That's my favorite part of Texas. Happy and safe travels. 🙂

[@markreynolds3850]

That looks real good, Texas is a lot of fun.

[@midway241]

God Bless Texas!

[@krayziecorvette1896]

El Paso news showed you guys some love. Subscribed. Good video!

[@CanonNovice]

I hope you have Big Bend NP on your schedule. It is worth the trip.

[@pawlet]

So awesome... I love that the instant pot got a shout out. Looking good kids.

[@jmsuitter5]

Wow, can't believe you where in my town. I've only watched you guys for a bit but love the content. If you every swing back this way let me know would love to meet you.

[@unclemo5536]

Great video. You guys should do a monthly "coffee with the Russos" do a meet and greet at a local coffee house as you are traveling. It would be a fun video to watch.

[@CrankyGrandma]

Uncle Mo I’d love this! Great idea

[@Busybeeee]

Great idea!

[@Weretherussos]

Hey Uncle Mo....we do have a monthly Meet Up in the town we're in for coffee, or whatever else. It's open to all of our Patreon members and the last one was last week! www.patreon.com/posts/february-meet-up-16739891

[@unclemo5536]

We're the Russos lol I didnt realize you were already meeting up every month. Thanks for all the great videos.

[@GrandmaGiggles]

Uncle Mo only if you contribute $5 a month will they have coffee with you 😯

[@zacharyrome3432]

I've heard a rumour that taking a nap after big meal is the exact opposite of what your suppose to do lol !

[@minacarson]

You all are the greatest. Thanks.

[@grlrunr0927]

I look forward to your videos every week keep living life guys 😉

[@LindaWolfe20]

Welcome to Texas!!! Great video and Congratulations being on the El Paso news.

[@xljiphone7862]

Joe i was at the zip gas station for a pit stop and i believe i saw you and you had some white sunglasses and i wanted to say hi but i was really nervous.

[@242rox12]

Great job as always my friends! I had to chuckle when you were wiping your head because of the hot sauce Joe. Been there, done that! We need to get you up here to Salt Lake City and do a segment here at KSL TV where I work! I've had my Travato 59K for almost a month now and I am LOVING it! Can't wait to meet up with you both along the road in the future. Take care and safe travels!!

[@seantaylor4107]

Nice vid guys, those nachos looked great. Cheers.

[@cdlady54_95]

Just caught a part of you on big time rv where you choose your camper van!

[@cazgerald9471]

The coldest I've ever been is El Paso. Left Dallas around 9pm towards LA, stepped out of my heated car for gas near dawn in El Paso wearing shorts and t-shit, 21F with 40mph wind gusts - holy crap thought I was gonna die.

[@jrandyoutdoors]

Joe was so funny eating those Nachos and wiping sweat. They looked delicious. Another awesome vid y'all. O' we watched y'all again on the Big RV Show last week on the GAC channel when y'all bought the Sprinter Van to go to Europe. Leo was looking so handsome. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Blessings!

[@stevehanson279]

Just wanted to let you know that I no longer watch videos with embedded advertising. It's too disrupting. I no longer watch commercial TV for the same reason. I prefer to rent the DVDs or pay for streaming service. Ads at the beginning or at the end are OK for me. As a business owner myself and as a "customer" of yours, I thought I should let you know.

[@kjonesy4142]

You guys were on TV again.... sooo famous!! 👏👏

[@Ebacherville]

Your in my "alternate neck of the woods", you should have taken 62/180 out of Elpaso and checked out Guadalupe mountain (tallest mountain in Texas) and then went on a few miles to to Carlsbad caverns. We have property at the base of the Guadalupe mountains that we boondock on.

[@pameladahse5016]

Loved this viedo ,,,, Texas is my home ,,,,, you really need to go South and see the cattle drives and all the old country stores ,,,,,, you guys are awesome

[@hect15my]

If you every make it to Lander Wyoming you will have to try the nachos at the Gannet Grill. Every cool 1890's bar.

[@stanthecomputerman]

Great TV interview. You guys are naturals in front of the camera!

[@mickkarshner]

Another great video. Way to go :-)

[@Scrambler85]

Always a thumbs up thanks for posting the video

[@dbishop1961]

I spent one night in El Paso back in the 80s. Was a poor student and could only afford a very cheap, sketchy hotel. No food nearby and the bathroom door was more substantial than the door to the room. I was driving solo from Tucson to Orlando so luckily I was only there one night and got out of there first thing the next morning.

[@mobiltec]

Only time I was in Texas was for basic training in the Air Force at Lackland AFB near San Antonio. It was August and it was hot.

[@bearmerica6668]

Yeah, I had to move back to Texas and it is terrible in the summer, well, it's terrible for 7-8 months.

[@rickycoker5830]

@@bearmerica6668 lived in el paso for a couple of years...people always said it's not that hot because the humidity is low...my response was always 110 degrees is freakin' hot...regardless of humidity, barometric pressure, or elevation...lol

[@davidfromtexas9681]

Bienvenido a Tejas!

[@BBQRando]

Drive safely

[@WanderingBird]

I have been binge watching your videos for the last few (hours!!!!!) Love your channel and I'm so excited to see all these places. We're shipping our van to the USA next year and can't wait to see everything! Those Nachos looked amazing.... slightly worried I won't fit in any of my clothes after I've lived in the USA for a few months- everything looks so good. We're currently touring Europe in our van- heading for Norway very soon. I'm hoping it's good practice for the US. Thanks so much for sharing & inspiring. 👍👍

[@GnatManAllinCoIronWorks]

Awesome As Always! Love seeing you smile again, but still odd to see the house door open, and no fur monster peeking out. Love El Paso, went to Ft. Bliss for training a hundred years ago, and fell in love with it.Did you guys head to Big Bend, or back North after Nacho City? Love you guys! C-Ya!,,,,,Peace! ( I like how he said, "Live out their days" hehehehehe)

[@Forest_Actual]

Welcome to Texas y'all

[@jesseortiz7979]

It’s my home town!!! Love it

[@ckealey2353]

...looks like it will be on our list

[@patriciasohle1664]

El Paso is my town I'm so happy you guys enjoyed your stay I loved the video

[@Chrisb8s]

Good call on l&j. Good stuff

[@allenahimsa]

If you get a chance check out the big bend area, marfa & alpine!

[@anthonyhernandez3645]

It would be great for you guys to meet everyone else in Austin this Saturday! Less junk more journey and keep your day dream will be there. I think the wondering wyatts just joined as well.

[@cheribrown7661]

TV Celebs again! Woohoo! You guys are naturals

[@marissaalonzo7997]

My hometown, NOW i'm missing the food. Thanks! I am glad you liked it.

[@ljefferies2012]

Welcome to Texas! Come visit Texarkana in East Texas. I'm not sure where you are traveling next but Arkansas (especially NWA) has some great towns to visit.

[@mcloud2021]

You guys have convinced me to live in an RV, its way cheaper than a mortgage or renting an apartment

[@ferniephoto]

Welcome to my city! 😊 if you have a chance for a special treat I recommend Cafe Central

[@dlg5485]

You guys are becoming quite the celebrities. Congrats on your success!

[@ckealey2353]

...i guess it needs to be on our list

[@eyecandie2004]

Where are y’all headed? Maybe Corpus Christi Texas! 😁

[@kathryndurbin5952]

I'm so enjoying your channel - it's my dream to do what you are doing and I'm on a 3-4 year plan to get there. I'm a teacher, so my road trips right now are limited to summer, but I travel for 2-3 weeks like you do, without much of a plan, in my Subaru Forester. I travel solo, so I stop where I want to and listen to the music I like. :) Looking forward to seeing what you do next and hoping you'll make a trip to northern Michigan (Higgins Lake, Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Pictured Rocks, the AuSable River, Mackinac Island -- we've got a lot of really great stuff going on here)!

[@paultarlow7051]

Another typically great Russo video. Aren’t you glad you now call Texas your home state? I too miss Leo.

[@williamcollidgeyt]

I love your channel

[@quartzquilter9351]

If you have time the Hill country is great! Lost Maples state Park.Highly recommend ! Wild flower season is in a few weeks! Austin music festival, film fest, and rodeo all next week! Have a great time in Texas !!!!

[@markreynolds3850]

Thanks for sharing your video, great

[@TheDtfamu89]

This is sooo cool.

[@anthonyhernandez3645]

I forgot to say that their having a meet up!

[@richardquinones2959]

Wow that is an awesome place and my God those nachos look so good make my mouth water LOL💜👋

[@joanmilano5302]

You always show us what Joe eats, but never what Kate eats.

[@tamaraweber3296]

El Paso, really nice and the food looks Deliciously

[@rebeccawoodbixler9536]

Good one! Enjoyed it! That's a lot of Mexican food for your small space, but looked yummy. 😁😳😂

[@joanhall3718]

Joe, you are looking so svelte!

[@GrandmaGiggles]

Where did you find that was nice to park at night in El Paso?

[@dhutmach]

If you guys are coming up to Austin we live on the northside and we have a big driveway that you could use. We could also have something on the big green egg.

[@mushacindyn]

Yaayy!! Ya'll are in Texas!! Ya'll should come check out some of the really cool breweries in Dallas and Fort Worth!!

[@sandrabond1]

Very cool!!!

[@festorfamine]

So we're just going to ignore the Prada shop out of the middle of nowhere?

[@TheGenflute]

festorfamine you can litteraly Google "prada shop in middle of nowhere" and it will come up. It's an art installation. A comical statement...how ridiculous would it be to have Prada THERE. lol. 😉

[@go86go]

there should be footage of Joe walking into planet fitness after all that food he consumed. and you guys should have your website and youtube channel info plastered on the van
