We saw a few of the small oil wells well I think they were. The ones that look like giant hammers going up and down very slowly. They are scattered around the place but we seem to come across about 20 of them and then no more for awhile.

No traffic problems getting to the track in Cresson TX. I spent the day with 50 or so Miata buddies turning laps on a 1.7 mile road course. They broke us down into novice intermediate and advanced so only people with similar skill levels were on the track at the same time. Since Irsquove never driven at speed http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Texas/Fort-Worth/blog-401413.html May 7 ThursdayMy first inclination was to return to Veracruz and register my displeasure but I decided about all they could do would be to say sorry and maybe clean up the bike which was still an oily mess. So instead of backtracking 2 hours I pulled over at the first auto lavenderia and the guys completely cleaned the oil off the bike by hand in an hour and 15 minutes for 150 pesos 10.5 http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Texas/Fort-Worth/blog-398219.html We went to Texas to meet Kimrsquos family.

Less than a week after my arrival I began working at Chipotle Mexican Grill. My last day was Sunday. Working there filled most of my evenings.

We loaded up my Aunt's van and headed toward the train station in Fort Worth. We made one wrong turn once we got into the city and had to backtrack a little. We found that across the country...people are bad at giving directions. So instead we used common sense and the map we had and found it with no trouble. We ate lunch http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Texas/Fort-Worth/blog-314422.html Hey everyone I just wanted to let everybody know that I am back home in America.
