I hope this is going splendidly.

(I got lost on some endless gravel road winding all the way up a small mountain-- there was no phone reception, no signs, lots of dead ends, but plenty of little houses and the occasional church, and at the top there was an RV park that some scary man followed us out of. He was not trying to help us.)
edit: but the SUNSETS!!!! El Paso and New Mexico both have otherworldly sunsets as I'm sure you saw.

New Orleans is good for three things, jazz, food and debauchery. There is no open container law. There are ads for free body shots on a stripper of your choice when you buy a high shelf bottle of alcohol. Bourbon street is designed to get you as f*cked up as humanly possible and make you regret your life the day after. The cool thing though is that literally a block away art art galleries and old people walking hand in hand looking at all the buildings. The food is amazing. I have charbroiled oysters and a shrimp/catfish po'boy from the originating place, Parkway Bakery. It was out of this world. The jazz clubs were great but it was hard finding one without a cover. Those, so I've been told, are in the more seedier neighborhoods and I had been drinking a lot so I figured it'd be best not to venture in. So if you want to drink your face off and pig out on amazing seafood, go to New Orleans. It's a dirty scummy fun city that I could only take a night or to of but it's worth a stop.
The caverns were the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I got emotional in there. I had never really seen the Earth be so beautiful like that before and it wasn't crowded so I had a lot of time to myself in there. Cathartic experience.
As for NM, I drove past a lot of those kind of towns but didn't stop much. I did however stay in Hobbs, New Mexico for a night and actually ate at a Chili's due to me having found a gift card in my room from God knows where. It was actually packed. Them people like their fast food disguised as actually cooked and prepared food.
