windy!

yesterday day was tough and i cheated a bit. the weather was horrible and i was coming up to this pass when a couple of cyclists pulled over in their truck and gave me a ride for about 15 miles. there, ive doneit. off my chest. anyway it felt good to be out of the headwinds and stinging rain for a bit! from camp wood i had a hard ride to brackettville through some arid countryside and constantly fighting against the wind. finally made it to bracketville and was in a very bad mood as i bike to a campsite where they had no hot water, so i had to bike back to a motel in this fierce storm. got into my room, hopped in the bath and devoured about 6 potato salad and cheese sandwiches (my own concoction). spirits were indeed raised until i watched a bit of fox news which is the most offensive channel. cant believe that they can call themselves news! upsetting. they are ridiculously anti democrat.

have now made it to del rio which lies just next to the mexico border. am tempted to hop over for the afternoon but there doesnt seem much point. the roads are starting to get pretty boring but i guy just pulled over in his car and said that the next couple of days would be the best in my whole trip. bring it on! adios amigos
