Saturday March 26th
Today was a rest day. Coffee and breakfast are pushed out one hour so we can sleep in. Part of our group crossed into Mexico for the shopping experience and lunch, plus maybe margarita's. The remainder stayed at the “abandoned” school and performed bike maintenance, plus of course work on your blog.
Our home for 2 nights. The City of Columbus had acquired this old school building and is planning to turn it into a Community center, pool, and AA meetings are already held in one of the rooms. The roof didnt leak, but then the faucets in Mens room didn't work. We shared part of the bathroom facilities with the Women. Oh, and there were no showers so we rented 2 campsites at the nearby Pancho Villa State Park so we could shuttle to the park and use their shower facilities. A “little” rough, certainly not like home.
One of the empty rooms available for our campsite within the school. The HVAC wasn't turned on either, but rooms were comfortable enough for sleeping bags.
Breakfast on rest day. When camping or staying in “abandoned” buildings, all of our meals are outdoors. One must be sure and dress appropriately and eat fast before food gets cold.
There was no lunch provided if you passed on the Mexico excursion. Normally all 3-4 restaurants in Columbus are closed on weekends but the Mayor told this one they could expect hungry bikers so they opened. I think only 3 of us stopped in. Maybe the Mayor should have mentioned this to us bikers so we would know where to get lunch. Anyway we had an excellent meal at this place. After lunch I did bike maintenance, patched my two flat tubes and worked on the blog. NO biking today.
