Switched on the television first thing this morning and we were swamped with Easter messages from competing churches. Although we have left the “Bible Belt” there is still a very strong church influence even here in Texas but the intensity and proliferation of churches is far less than that found in the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. I wasn’t in the mood to be God bothered so we hit the road in the humid heat of mid morning Beaumont.
The ride west was some 330 miles to San Antonio and it was probably one of the most boring bike journeys I have ever undertaken. Interstate 10 was pretty much the only choice of road and it had one hell of a side wind sweeping in from the south pretty much all the way.
Once in San Antonio we unloaded the bikes and took a trip downtown to the Alamo. We found it easy enough but parking was a nightmare so we gave up on the Riverwalk – maybe next time.
We avoided MacStuffing tonight and rode to a Pizza Hut where we duly stuffed ourselves on a filled crust pizza – not much else to report. We are making our way to Roswell, New Mexico over the next couple of days with tomorrow night’s stop scheduled for Fort Stockton.
