Upper Tom Lea Park in El Paso - not many parks can compete with its photogenic self. The sweeping view of the sister cities. The front row seat to pendulous full moons. The grace of the small, well-formed trees. The sturdy lines of the stone obelisk. The low stone wall. The curving paved path.

It's the location of the Friday evening drumming circle from May through October.

Public parks such as the Upper Tom Lea are where all people can gather freely. It's one of our inalienable rights: the pursuit of happiness.
