ALL of us are BACK now

The Mexican landed at DFW airport last night at 6:30 PM.. She remained
behind to attend to unfinished business and to catch up on her Magda
visiting.. lol..

It would seem that we missed some people in the state of Sinaloa, that were
anxiously expecting us.. The Mexican got the report from two of the
Pueblitas that we roared through.. hmmm.. Topes, Topes.. Vibradores,
Vibradores and importantly .. Despacio, Despacio.. I actually doubt that we
were roaring through those Pueblos.. <grin> You see, we'd learned on the
ride down.. that it's not a good idea to ride through at a high speed..
"roaring" .. so to speak..

At any rate .. the four of us were observed, as we went through Palmillas..
The white haired Gringo riding the Green motorcycle was third in line and
not wearing a helmet, which made him very recognizable.. There were some
shouts that were designed to capture our attention, but that was customary
as we went through each little town .. We just didn't notice.. Guess we were
focused on the Topes.. It is too bad .. The lady had prepared rooms for us,
with A/C even.. There were Porterhouse steaks waiting and she'd even managed
to get some of that good American Folger's to serve us.. Her husband was
there with a key to a Beachside Condo in Mazatlan, that was freshly cleaned
and prepared for us to spend time.. Dang.. Morgan Kane didn't even get to
see the Pacific.. <sigh>

Esquinapas was twenty or so miles up the highway and another group was there
by the highway, waiting .. as well.. Running short of time, is a bitch..
ain't it ? I can assure one and all.. that if we'd stopped with those fine
people, we'd still be in Mexico.. having a ball..

One week is just not enough time to see very much in that beautiful
country.. Although we saw more than the ordinary visitors to that warm and
colorful land, we barely experienced the many different flavors of Mexico
and it's warm, hospitable people..

As she reported to Magda, the Lady from Palmillas assured her that the
"white haired Gringo" looked fine and the others' in the group were
impressive as we passed through the little seaside village.. LOL.. Nice to
know there were so many who were interested in us and looking out for our
little group.. She even commented about the little lady that was riding two
up with us.. The concern for our welfare is nothing less than expected by
those fine friends and family.. That's just the way they do things..

We are all back home, now.. Magdalena is busy with her Magda doings, Waco is
busy with his Waco thing and Morgan Kane is safely in Houston.. Buddy
Helscel is back in Casa Grande, Az.. and all is well with the world .. One
little sidenote here, is that after he separated from us in Mazatlan.. the
Stater failed on his Harley.. Buddy had to complete his ride with much
assistance, as in battery charges and an auxilliary car battery that he
rigged up to enable him to get home..

Quite an adventure for us all .. Everyone in the good ol' USA should take
the time to make a ride such as this one.. although, I'd not recommend it to
the novice or rookie rider.. Regards
