In which we need some water, we cross some mountains, and enter a very different place called Bulgaria.

In which we write a Dear John letter to Chile, our old flame, we meets wonderful Moroccan family and we eat great food.

Sabinas Hidalgo – Monterrey, Nuevo Laredo, Mexico Well, now we have left the U.S. and the border behind for real . . . We ended up packing several days worth of life into our one ride today. We started out from Sabinas, agreeing that we didn’t need to worry too much about food because there…

Sabinas Hidalgo, Nuevo León, Mexico Well, we went to bed last night thinking that we were just going to risk it on this whole visa thing. If the Mexican authorities wanted to demand papers that they didn’t give us, we would just plead ignorance or pay them as necessary, and hope for the best .…

Laredo, TX, USA – Sabinas Hidalgo, Nuevo León, MX Wow. That was a full day. Some nerves. Some drama and some emotions. Lots of biking. Lots of reality. Lots of food. Some drama. Some new friends. And an all around amazing day. I didn’t feel great yesterday and I woke up this morning feeling a…

Laredo We spent a lot of time staring at our phones today. First off, we’re not sure what, if anything, is along the road between Nuevo Laredo and Monterrey. Google Maps doesn’t show anything for the first 80 miles. What does that mean? 80 miles with no water might be tough. 80 miles with no…

Cotulla – Laredo, TX It feels like the end of many things, but it’s obviously the beginning as well. The end of our ride through the states. The end of our ride through Texas – which is itself like its own country – which, indeed, we’ve learned it once was. The end of the prelude…

Hell hole campground -Cotulla, TX There was only one way to go after yesterday. And, fortunately, we have been going that way. Up! We ate a quick breakfast and tried to get on the road early in order to beat the heat – and, let’s be honest, to put miles between us and rattlesnake canyon.…

San Antonio – Devine, TX I feel like maybe today was practice for the real thing. Desert. Poverty. Flies. No indoor plumbing. No shade. The riding was fine, though we started a bit late so it was a little hot. (I would say that it’s 97 degrees in the shade – except there is no…

New Braunfels – San Antonio, TX Sometimes it’s a great thing when the bike store is closed. So it was today. Upon approaching San Antonio we decided that we would head immediately to the bike shop – with the intention of changing out the chains and maybe the tires on Old Dan and Little Anne…

Austin – New Braunfels, TX I have to start with my resentments. I guess it’s not healthy to keep them to yourself. Northern Lights. Are you kidding? Every time I look on Facebook there are amazing pictures of aurora borealis. From as far south as Illinois. People are seeing them without any effort at all.…

Manheim – Austin, TX Man, I don’t write for one day and I feel like there is so much to say . . . First off, there’s some culture shock in going from rural areas, and even smaller cities like College Station, to a place like Austin that, as Karen, our wonderful Warm Showers host,…
