Remember the Alamo?

Actually, that's all we can do right now. Remember our last visit, that is. We haven't gone there yet.


Yesterday's ride was a rough one. It wasn't a matter of distance or traffic. The problem was that we slept poorly (anticipation nerves) and had much to do before we actually got on the road. A perfect recipe for being
tired beyond words.


We spent the night at a friend's home in Houston. She and her daughter made us feel wonderfully welcome and we look forward to visiting again on our way back. After a good night's sleep, we were on our way again, bright and late this morning.


As we made our way from Houston to San Antonio with no problems except the incredible heat over 100! We stopped every 50 miles to soak our cooling vests, refill our neck scarves with ice, and refill our bodies with Gatorade. There were actual salt deposits on our mesh pants from all the sweating we did. Even so, today's ride was far better than yesterday's.


We'll see what tomorrow brings!
