Yep! We are still in Texas!!
After just four days of cycling, we have a rest day - unusual but always appreciated!!
I am not sure what Navasota is like actually - we are in a Best Western just off of the highway so downtown is way too far to walk...
Big excitement because there is a Walmart within walking distance - much purchasing of basic necessities (root touch up anyone??)
Other than Walmart, there are a lot of fast food places close by and a steak house for dinner tonight.
So what do we do on rest days?? Laundry, bike cleaning, catching up on blogs and e-mails and eating,
a lot of eating! Usually there is a cocktail hour at 5pm - in the parking lot on our plastic chairs of course. We try to go out for a nice meal in a real restaurant - food is very important when you are going across the States using only your own legs to get you there!!
I have made great friends on this trip and become re-acquainted with some wonderful old friends from the Pacific Coast trip. Odd to spend two months with a group of people and then maybe never see them again!
Beautiful ride yesterday but we were fighting crosswinds again - one time I swear that the wind picked up my bike and moved it over a couple of inches!! Some good solid body weight helps a lot - the smaller women tend to have some real issues with wind conditions like that!
Charlene and I did get lost and took a longer, but fortunately, very scenic route. We got back on track in the end and were very happy to arrive in town!! It is all part of the adventure...
Keep those e-mails coming!!
