Chapala - Brownsville

2 days/jours, 1130kms

You must actually sing the title of this blog, an old tune from the Beatles, revisited for thew occasion!

Well, we could not "blog" two nights ago as the motel (fancy word for the jail we stayed into just out of San Luis Postosi) did not have internet (neither did it have toilet seats, AC, TV or a key to the room... Metal doors that locked once! But, we could park the bikes right at the door: that put a smile on Andre's face! Finally, we managed to enjoy a beer with the front tires of the bike as foot rest, Andre's definition of a "biker's motel".

But we are reaching you today from the Hampton Inn in Brownsville, Texas, just out of the Mexico border. We rode 600kms yesterday to be here. Mexico has been generous and beautiful. Each state offers panoramic views of how nature came into play to design majestic sceneries of mountains, valleys, plains & deserts of all kinds. Pictures can present a beach rather well but never give justice to how impressive peaks and valleys can be.

Hospitality:
Luc & France: thank you so very much!
San Luis Postosi Municipal police: what a beautiful display of police corruption!
Long story, short story: $10US did the trick. We do live under different standards, that's for sure. It feels refreshing to be in the US although the humidity is here to remind us that there is always something to bitch about if that's what you choose to do. I just think life is a bundle of good stuff! I particularly like the human interaction part... and lacking a particular type of it right now! Shanna: I'm on my way babee! Heehahh!


Bonjour a vous tous , enfin la civilisation... pus capable des tortillas, de l'odeur des tortillas et de la vue des tortillas... pus capable des animaux le long des routes et des flics corrompus... pus capable des "topes" et des routes maganees... MAIS quels beaux souvenirs !!!!

Hier, je crois que le soleil a eu le dessus sur nous quatres, nous avons bu mais pas assez, encore un beau 100 degre mais avec de l'humidite, je m'excuse pour les gens du Quebec mais il y avait des nuages et c'etait MERVEILLEUX.

Les rencontres avec les gens sont toujours extraordinaires (question d'attitude hen Marc?), le destin peut-etre mais souvent sans rien planifier, un arret non prevu se transforme en quelque chose de sublime ( les deux fillettes (voir photo)). Suffit de voir le beau cote des chose hen Lynda?

Bon nous sommes deja en retard donc Hasta luego oups see you oups A plus tard... Francois !!!
