Christmas Tree in downtown San Antonio, next to the "Alamo". Wonderfully decorated, eh? Near this tree, I ran into the Canadians again! Three of them were in San Antonio, another had gone forward and is probably in MX (Mexico) now, and the fifth is in Austin till he finishes building a new horse (bicycle) for himself. He biked four centuries (hundred miles in a day) in a row! That must have taken a lethal toll on his horse since he had to leave it to the wayside. The others will probably wait in SA for a couple more days for him to catch up.

My typical road look. Taken by the editor of the Southside Reporter, San Antonio. Next week, Wednesday, should be an article on clickitsa.com. This editor, Susana Haywood, is from Argentina, was stationed in Mexico City for many years, and will be connecting me with AP journalists along my route. How great!

I just ate at this Mexican restaurant "Jalisco"--food deriving from the Southwestern Mexican state of Jalisco--and the staff there were excellent, made me some burritos with "nopales", which are fried cactus leaves with the spines removed, and thay all took a photo with me. Then they made a donation for one of the UNDOIT t-shirts.

Here is the staff from the Jalisco restaurant I just ate at. SEXY, no?
