Thursday night in TorC

OK....there is very little to do in T or C, NM! I finished the ride...took a dip in the pool...called Katie...and got a shower! It took us about 1/2 an hour to crash the internet access in the hotel (which we do every night..in every hotel). So I occupied myself in the time before dinner with creating the one sign we've dreamed of seeing! I bring you....."Cow on cheese"!






















After dinner it was off to the Grand Opening of the Super WalMart. An event we could not miss! Mostly, it looked like people from the surrounding areas...milling about the monstrous produce section with that : "what the heck is that thing?" look on their faces.





















Our dinner got off to an odd start as the salsa was frozen solid! The rest of the meal was pretty good.



















The Cochina Skewer....smothered in the local green chile sauce that was fabulous!









The internet access deal is getting pretty funny. If I don't go straight from the bike to the blog...you have to wait until late at night or early the next morning to get the report. I counted 18 computers in the "computer bin" this morning...that's a lot of data coming in and out over a Super8's DSL. Joel gave up today and walked over to the Comfort Inn to poach their wireless.
Usually, it's some kid behind the front desk who has to call the Manager back to reset the server. Glad I could get out again...it's 8:30PM! Off to Los Cruces,NM in the morning. Hoping for a tailwind!

Oh yeah 'iced salsa' rocks... Did they sell it on a stick?

Hey, how'd Mike beat me to this post... Oh right he's not riding his bike these days like some people...

The Cow on Cheese is definitely a winner, DR. Good thinking! As for when Mike posts vs. when Todd posts...it's a matter of quality rather than quantity when it comes to training ;-)

Uncle David,

I have loved keeping up with your blog! What amazing pictures and adventures. After living in rural North Carolina, I can appreciate what a big deal a super Wal-Mart Grand Opening is!! Have a wonderful last day and keep those pictures coming!!

Love,
Katie M.

How fast does a cow on cheese go? What is Wal-Mart?
