HELLO FROM TAMPICO,MX

OK I rode down from San Antonio to Three Rivers, then from there to Harlingen, and finally to Brownsville, where i was finally convinced i should take a bus through the border and a bit further in to Mexico , because of the violence going on recently, so I did and I arrived today here in Tampico, from here I'm headed to Veracruz, should take me about four days, im trying to leave tomorrow, still have some preping to do, maps specialy, so will see.  So far so good, leaving the us border was a very anoying experience, they way over did it but well, i was at there mercy and they, the border oficers, definetly seemed to enjoy it.   In Mexico, on the other hand, took three minutes instead of an hour and a half and instead of looking hrough every inch of my bags twice! they asked two or three questions and wished me a good trip.  The weather has been hot and suny, flat roads wich seem to always be on a slight upward grade, met some nice people along the way, though many hours of solo riding, a lot of talking and singing to myself!  The road kill is really staggering, about 30 raccoon, 4 armadillos, 3 deer, 10 hawks, 3 owls, 1 turtle, 2 dogs, and some other unrecognizable stuff, the views got really nice on hwy 77 took a few pics hope u like!!  till next blog!!
