After a 16 hour overnight train ride on the Sunset Limited, we arrived in El Paso. We found an amazing bingo hall near the airport and happened to stop by in the evening when they were just starting an intense night of bingo.
For bingo amateurs such as us, it was a bit overwhelming to get with the pace of the game, even if we only had 2 cards to everyone else's 10. By the middle of the evening, we were getting the hang of hearing numbers called with a deep Texas accent and furiously dabbing our cards with our bingo markers. Apparently, "G" is pronounced "chair" in some parts of bingo-playing West Texas. Ben won a Double Bingo that night, which was pretty exciting and sort of nerve wrecking at the same time.
