Well it's Monday, and COLD, but a beautiful day to ride, so I am off to Durango, Mexico. But first, desayunar! #
I'm in Parral, Mexico taking a day off and getting caught up on my blog at http://www.MotoAdventureGal.com # Toured the Palacio Alvarado & the Museo Pancho Villa, & now am sitting here in my sarong while Cuco washes my clothing, which was necessary #
11-23-09 Due to some feminine issues, I decided to stay one more at at Voni & Paul’s and not cross into Mexico today. So we went for a ride to explore Terlingua. And had lunch at Kathy’s Kosmic Kafe Mmmm…what to have… Paul visits with the locals Two hot chicks on bikes Artwork in Terlingua [...]
