Day Thirty-Four
Today we had another great day of riding. The miles ticked by smoothly as we are no longer bombarded by large climbs. We rode to Carmine, TX where we set up camp at an RV Park. We walked to a Steakhouse down the street where Jana treated us to good feed and spirits. We picked up some playing cards on our way back to the park, where we stayed up a little later than normal playing cards and listening to music on my laptop. Jana has some good taste in music, and introduced me to a bunch of artists that I hadn’t heard of. We also spoke of a plan that has been floating around my circle of friends, to ride bikes to Machu Picchu. Jana is down. Any other takers? Good night from Machu Piccu land.
