A good productive day. I got so much done today. Both bikes are cleaned, oiled and ready for it to rain on them on Friday, although that is the forecast for Del Rio, maybe we will miss it as we are heading west.
I called my Dad and Joy. Joy is doing really well and I thank everyone once again for their prayers and kind words last year. She is not able to go back to work yet, but she is getting bored and is volunteering at a couple of places in Tetbury, a village nearby to where she lives. Dad is fine, he is visiting my sister in Cyprus in May.
I went through my panniers to see if I can lighten my load at all. I have cleared out some papers I have been carrying, probably a couple of grams lighter!
Ralf is cooking tonight – salmon, rice and veges. We decided to get some camping gas, as we are heading out to a less populated area where we will probably be camping. The motels have been nice, but it is time to camp again.

There is an Air Force base (Laughlin) at the edge of the city. When I was in the AF I use to hear stories about the GI’s going across the border into Ciudad Acuna and getting drunk and getting into trouble. Not sure if the base is still open or not, with all the cutbacks. Anyway, enjoy and be safe.
Yes the AirForce base is still open at Laughlin.
It was good to talk to yiu, put my mind at rest. I went to church for coffee morning today, and have volunteered to help as the summer hours begin next week (3 mornings instead of 1), it wad nice to sit and talk to some of the villagers that have lived here all of their lives, some well into their 80’s. It’ll be nice to give something back for all those prayers.
Is it the lovely old church in the village, that Ralf and I had a wander around when we were staying at your place? Anglican?
Yes thars right, its a lovelt church, been a great comfort for me I go often, jusy for some quiet time.
