Texas is big!

So I finally made it to Texas. We have been here for 3 days now. I am enjoying myself. We have amazing sponsors here and our lodging has yet to be in a high school gym! The hospitality we are receiving is absolutely great! We are also having some great friendship visits! Experiencing these communities and the generosity has really lifted my spririts with humnanity. I have realized that media makes things seems so bad out in the world. But there is still so much good.

So Texas is pretty much exactly how I pictured it to be. Flat. Farms. Windmills. Oil Drills. And Cowboy hats. We have not had a day off in a while now, since Roswell. We still have 3 more days til we get our day off in Dallas. I am definitely ready to give my legs a rest. Especially after tomorrow because we have 110 miles!

The days have been going great. South team listens to a lot of Taylor Swift on our free time. There was also a scorpion in the washer yesterday that I washed my clothes in. That was a little creepy. I have also been enjoying some beautiful sunrises. The days seem to be really flying by now. I also can't believe that we are over the halfway point in the trip. It is hard to believe that over a month ago I was riding across the Golden Gate Bridge getting ready to cycle across the US with a bunch of guys that I didn't know. I am also pretty thankful because I still have not had any major problems with my bike and I have only had two flats!

I suppose I should go and get some sleep.
