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.

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,…

College Station – Mannheim, TX Some days are not as easy as others . . . Our day started out with a lot of uncertainty. We knew we were heading toward Austin – but in terms of where exactly we would land today we had no idea. In general we use several different apps to…

Rusk – College Station, TX Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. I used to say that a lot in my former life. I guess it still applies today. After touring the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library this afternoon “Where’s the beef” was the term that came to mind. I mean, it…

Rusk – Madisonville, TX Those of us who bike with Diana very much know that wind direction is very important to her. Not as important as butter or cream, but almost as important as having a good reserve – like a minimum of 15 bars or so – of baking chocolate around. I mean, just…
