We've crossed paths with another tour group that is riding cross-country, Bubba's something or other, and talked with some of their riders. They mostly camp and I'm told that Bubba does their laundry (lots of luck with that). He doesn't actually cycle with them, but drives the support vehicle.
I rode with Rona again today (that's her with me in one of the pics). Our ride took us along the Mission Trail. In the town of Fabens, I took a pic of a Catholic church, but can't promise that was part of the Mission Trail. It's typical of the architecture of a lot of the churches we passed.
I stopped and took a pic of an alfalfa (sp?) field, which we see a lot of. Needless to say, they rely on their irrigation systems.
There is also a pic of a herd of goats that I couldn't resist getting a pic of.
We're staying tonight at the Fort Hancock Motel (see pic). I was a little leary, but the room is fine, and that's the only thing available in this town. 
You have come a long way!!! Keep it up and enjoy!!!
ReplyDeleteThe church is beautiful! And you look so happy. Your trip sounds so well-planned, with staggered single-rooms, free choice of eating out for lunch, etc. Sounds like you get a good blend of privacy and companionship too. I'm impressed.
ReplyDeleteBack home here the winter just won't give up. Nor'eastern BOMB comes tomorrow, and temps. in teens in a.m. most days when we wake up. It's wonderful that you can be outside so much.
Hey Jeanne, We have been following you every day; just couldn't figure out how to post our comments. You are one tough cookie. Keep up the good work! Love, Annelle & Michael
ReplyDeleteHi Jeanne, I have been following you everyday too. Your blog is a highlight, an education and an inspiration. Loved the iatrogenic flat comment and photos of you and Andrew back a bit. He was much shorter when I saw him last! Weather in Western North Carolina is fluctuating between flurries one day and 60's the next. Mona sounds like a great friend and biking partner. Bike strong!
ReplyDeleteHow did it go in the Bates Motel? If we don't hear anything else we'll know..... You are going to be one laid back cookie by the time this is over. Now you know where I stay for my dog shows! haha
ReplyDeleteSupposed to get HOT by the end of the week in Texas so dress appropriately. We are going to finally get spring in the northeast. Today, not so much - we missed the snow but the cold and wind....
I want to tell you what happened on The Good Wife but I won't be a spoiler.
I'm gonna add you to my facebook page, sis, as a brag. I'm exhausted reading about your travels. What an experience of a life time. Do not get injured. :-)
