Carrie’s Place

The morning started off misting, but that’s ok. We knew we’d be riding in and out of it all day! It was well worth it – we were looking forward to getting to Big Bend and some sunshine there!

We just didn’t quite make it.

Our friends, Kenny and Lorraine, had an accident on 190 outside of San Saba. They are ok, some injuries, but no broken bones. They were able to ride the bike back to the shop, though it was totaled.

So Dan and I started off towards Del Rio in the truck. Not exactly as exciting as going on the bikes, but we enjoyed each others company, and talked about things to come.

Friday evening we headed over to Ciudad Acuña in Mexico. I was a little apprehensive because of not having our border cards, but the officer on duty assured us that our paperwork was more than ample for getting back to the United States.

We did a little shopping, then dined at Manuals. The food was exceptional, and the atmosphere was romantic. A mariachi band played a very amorous song for us that had me spellbound! And ~~~ ohhhhh…the margaritas! We asked the bartender for the recipe, and he gladly shared. However, I am pretty sure they left out a certain ingredient that maybe have caused me some unusual feelings of giddiness, and some horrible dreams after we went to bed. Creepy.

We made it home safely, even through the deluge of rain and water in San Antonio. We had a great time, and are looking forward to going back!

Life is good!
