HELLO!

Welcome back. Seven years after my first ride across the United States, I am doing it again.

This blog will document my trek.

Day 16 - Columbus, NM (0 miles)

Enjoyed a non riding day after yesterday’s big totsl. Slept in (6:30 am) and drove to the Mexican border at 10:30. Walked across the border, had a terrific lunch at the Pink House, then walked around for an hour before coming back to camp. Another hot day, currently 93 degrees at 3 pm.

Welcome to Palomas de Villa, Mexico across from Columbus. NM.

Walking in to Mexico. Bag check going in, passport check coming out.

Lunch at the Pink House in Mexico with live music.

My order: Combination Plate of taco, chimichanga, enchilada, rice & beans. Terrific!

Missed my chance for a flat top or low fade haircut
