La Mesilla, often called Old Mesilla, is a small "suburb" of Las Cruces that was actually there first and is now known most for its old Spanish public square, around which are a number of shops, boutiques, and restaurants.  It's a required stop for any visit to Las Cruces.       We ate lunch here one day.   If we were together eating, you can be sure that it got photographed.     This is not a photo of anything in La Mesilla.  But on our way back afterwards, this truck pulling a trailer full of soft drink cans went by, and we simply HAD to follow it to get some photos.  You know how it is.
