I've now gone 3,000 miles and I'm feeling great. Mexico was an amazing host for these past two months. The food, the people and the vibrant culture all made for an absolutely unforgettable experience. Hooray for Mexico and its people, you are the best!!! The Bot flies are gone, my legs are strong and my heart is ready to be back in the States. Hello America!!

On the map it shows that El Sueco is a town but in fact it is only a gas station and restaurant. Luckliy the owner, Rigo is super cool and let us stay in one of his rooms. He also fed us 14 inch burritos and cold beers. This was a great place to stay after a brutal 60 mile ride into the wind.
Oh, it is called "The Swede" because one of Pancho Villa's soldiers was Swedish and liked this very cold area of the desert because it reminded him of Sweden. I didn't see any blonds though.

The road signs are bilingual up here close to the U.S border. Looks like they need a better translator though or goofballs like me will make fun of them.

There we were, riding peacefully along in the desert when two big SUVs came toward us. Hmm, what's this? Police? No! A TV crew popped out of the trucks and did a quick interview with us about our trip. Good thing we are leaving Mexico because now every bandito will know exactly where to find us.

The wind beat down my flags for three straight days but they are still flying high.

I was told that Conan the Barbarian was filmed up here in the dunes outside of Juarez. I was just glad that it wasn't windy when we passed this area.

After an entire day and blasting wind we were treated to an amazing sunset. Moments like these are great for transporting me to happy land and away from hell. Too bad for us the winds started up again the next day.

We escaped from the winds to a chili farm in the desert. They are too spicy for my weak little Gringo lips.
