So we arrived to Las Cruces just in front of an incredible cold spell. Forecasted 6 degrees tonight! So glad we have a place to stay inside. When we arrived yesterday we went first to the poste and picked up the box loaded with great food from Mom & Dad, thank you both so much! Before leaving the poste we were approached by five people who wanted to know all about our adventure. The couple who owns Nelli's Cafe on Hadley Ave invited us to their restaurant for breakfast today! It was an amazing meal. The couchsurfers we spent last night with cooked a great southwestern style dinner for us and provided wonderful hydration and conversation. I really hope that more people start internalizing that we are all humans and can find common grounds to get along. I'm not seeking the delusion of world peace, just the reality of inner peace. Iz and I are continually amazed at how many people greet us with such kindness and willingness to support our journey. These encounters are the fabric of our "One Revolution" concept. One revolution at a time, we are opening ourselves to a world of kindness to and from others. Seek your own peaceful journey! We're off to El Paso or further tomorrow. Oh, we also did a full tune up on both bikes today since we had a mishap yesterday that bent Iz's front rack and put his front wheel out of true. Clean drivetrains and smooth shifting makes such a difference in performance! Thanks Outdoor Adventures for letting us use the bike stand and tools! Let your thoughts and actions be guided by peace and joy...
One Revolution

ReplyDeleteShaquiella, you are very right about that, good people are to be found anywhere you go!
ReplyDeleteKyree, it was crazy cold but fortunately we both have a lot of layers and were lucky enough to find a warm place to stay in Las Cruces to wait out the cold. Unfortunately, the cold found us again in Marfa Texas and looks like it will spend the next few days with us! Yikes!!
Heather, actually it means more mixed nuts to fuel us across the Lone Star State! Yay!
