Going to be in Del Rio All Week

[Hoji]

Yep. Had a good time when I wasn't teaching. Got a call to go straight from there to a protection gig in Corpus. I will be here this week. No suggestions needed on what to do in my downtime, lol

You are probably gone by now but my FIL lives there so we have been a bunch of times. Fish, tube the Rio Grande, or visit the Alamo set. I think it's from the John Wayne film.

Alamo Village closed about 4 years ago, no longer open to visitors but is for sale.

So it's still open, you just have to invite a realtor to go with you.

Cool. Not sure I would do that. I would be afraid I would end up losing my bike. I did enjoy riding 3 months around the U.S. though, 26,000 miles.

Awh, 'ell, all I would have to do is lay it on its side and those little Mexican guys down there wouldn't be able to pick it up.

People always are concerned about the drug cartels and such when you mention driving / riding in Mexico. Personally, I've never had a problem and it's not like I actually plan where I've riding, I just ride and end up wherever I end up. I've found the people nice even though I don't speak the language. I once spent an hour at a bar in the middle of nowhere, drinking beers and "talking" with the owner -- he didn't speak English and I didn't speak Spanish, but that apparently neither of us would admit that we had no idea what the other person was saying. Just some little bar in the middle of nowhere and I was the only customer. Not exactly desert, but pretty close to it.

My wife and some of her childhood friends (a bunch of cackling old hens) are talking about a trip to Puerto Vallarta next year. I'm halfway tempted to ride down there just for shits-and-giggles. It's probably around 1100 miles. Back in my younger days, I could do that in one day. These days, I would probably spread it over two days. Getting old sucks...
