October 7, 2008

(By Dirk)

This morning we stood up at 6:00, I had no breakfast because I still was stuffed by the dinner yesterday. I had a really big steak.

We left at 7:30, and as usually my VeloSolex wouldn't start. But after 500 meters, finally, he fired up. Such a joy.

The first miles we drove through a town with a lot of trafficlights. Sometimes we drove through the red light, but he police allows that in America. (As long as they don't see you.)

Immediately we had hills, just like the last days. climbing started again. The 'heavyweights' were in trouble again. Except one, Martijn. His VeloSolex drives like crazy after the repairs from yesterday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At 11:00 we were in Texas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After an hour we drove through 'Shamrock' with the famous classis the 'U Drop Inn and Cafe'.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At the second stop, at a gasstation/brikyard I found my 'longhorn'. I have to put on my VeloSolex. Afterall we are in Texas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As usual I ended the day in the Chevy.

Tonight we ar going to eat at the 'Big Texas Steak Ranch'. Henk and Henk are going to try the 72 oz. More about this in the daily report of tomorrow, by Henk.

The rooms of the hotel over here have wooden blinds and saloondoors in front of the bathroom.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Greetz, Dirk.
