Hello every one,
Well, day 19th of our trip is over! 2050 miles covered...wow! it appears that it may be 80 miles tomorrow (which I am not very excited about because there is a big climb at the end of the day). Then hopefully no more than 90 miles on sunday. I really do not know the exact mileage because we do not have GPS here and the maps are shady. But I think at most we are looking at 200 more miles. Today was a good easy day, we started at 6:am and finished by 3:pm and covered about 92 miles. I did get a hole on my rear tire and the tube was coming out of it so we change it. Then, 15 minutes later in the middle of no where I got a flat tire! Well, I stoped right next to a bus station and this is what happen: As I came up to the bus station I notided there where 6 people sitting there. Three teenage girls sitting on the sidewalk and three adults sitting on a bench.
"hello every one" I said with as much enthusiasm as I could gather considering I had a flat. Just the same anyway, no one answer. They all just sat there looking at me. There was one male on the bench, he was completely covered including most of his face, (it was very cold this morning) he was listening to his head phones. He was listening to a very well known song from the Temerarios, a very well known mexican band. I know this because even thogh he had the head phones on and a hoodie over it the music was loud enough that all of us around there could also "enjoy" his music.
I looked over to the left and the three girls were still looking at me, the other two ladies on the bench as well as the guy also looking at me. 5-10 minutes later why is it taking me this long to change my tire! Finally as I begin to put my tire back on the bike, the bus pulls up, they all get up and with out even one glance at me get on the bus...Now I'm thinking: what a bunch of weirdos right? never mind I am wearing a white helmet, long black spandex with bright red leg warmers, white sun glasess, a white adidas hootie two sizes too big and white ciclyn shoes.

To Liliana and Ava:
HOla mijas :) well papi will be home in 6 days!! I am so happy that I am gonna get to see you girls! guess what? this morning I was riding my bike and i rode past a herd of cows. Well they saw me and then inmediately started following me! yes all of them! even two baby cows were running next to me! That was so much fun I even slowed down a little bit so they would not get tire. Well, I hope you girls are being very good to each other and to your sister Sulema. I love you both very much. please be good this weekend.
Love, papi.
