The Hotel in Mission was great. When I checked in, the young clerk was looking at my drivers license and he asked the other clerk if Tennessee was a state? No child left behind.

Transmission shaft bearing gave up the ghost on the way to San Miguel de Allende. Disappointed having my time in Mexico cut short, but the failure could have occurred in Houston traffic.

The bike was bellowing smoke entering the parking lot. "You looked like a shot up fighter coming in for a landing."

Pick up a copy of "MexTrek" by Richard Gibbens. It's chocked full of good information. Learn some Spanish. Mexico isn't just about the sights and events, it's the people. Talk to them. Your trip will be much more rewarding.

Thank you Peter for arranging the MexTrek events, Andre for guiding our small group, Jack Sands for hanging out until the wrecker arrived, Sean the Donkey Puncher, Valdemar for letting me store my bike, and Allan B. for getting the old GS back.
