Hello again -- still from New Mexico!



We WOULD have been spending the night in Texas, but for some odd reason, there is a flash flood trackin' through the "desert" we are in, so we are STUCK in New Mexico!

New Mexico is really pretty, but I think it would be even prettier in the rear-view mirror. I am ready to be in Texas, and to be done with this silly weather. We rode today only for about an hour before we had to stop because we started to get rained on. Oh yeah, and it hailed again today. It wasn't as painful this time so we didn't have to stop and rest but it still hurt.

We are going to get up super early tomorrow (hopefully) and get on the road so that we can make it all the way to Dallas by sundown. I hope that the weather is clear and WARM tomorrow!! :)

So, you know that you are having fun and that you have a great life (LML = Love my life!) when you are driving along, getting poured down rain on and still laughing. I mean, I'm not talking about a little drip here, and a little drip there: I am talking about rain dripping off your helmet into your eyes, your legs numb from the cold water, your toes frozen in place, and being so soaked that you can ring out your clothes and have a bucket full of water. Now that is a downpour. We were riding through New Mexico singing that "they call me mello' yello" song and bobbing our heads to the "beat." :) So much fun!!!

Ricky hit a BIRD today with his face! Oh Emm Gee! He smashed the poor bird at 80 miles an hour! It hit so hard that Ricky heard a "pow!" noise. We think that the bird will be our only casualty of this trip -- that, and our MONEY! ha!
