Mexico

As before, I'll begin with abject apologies for lack of updates, but suffice it to say that I will fill in the blanks at a later time WITH photographs of unusual splendour. Today we rode to the Mexican border which was a grand moment of great accomplishment in a very desolate field with water contamination that is better known as a California State park. Tomorrow we set off on our journey east through the desert and it should take a little over a week to get to Phoenix, AZ. Looking forward very much to the change in scenery and terrain as well as the challenge of the desert crossing. We're hoping to really make up some time as much of the terrain flattens out and becomes quite desolate. I'm doing much better riding these days, but climbing hills still tires me very quickly. It will just take time to regain the strength I lost and time is something I seem to have a lot of, these days! It's been great to ride with Don, and Camille is happy that I finally have someone else to badger! She got a thorough cleaning and tune-up and is ready for the next leg of the journey. Almost half-way! Happy riding!
