Today's Ride

Today's ride took me 9 miles east to a rest stop and this beautiful flowering cactus. There are a lot of cacti in the area but most of them are further out in the fields and hard to get a good close up.

At the rest stop I met our neighbor, Maria,  who I did not know before this chance meeting. She lives  two doors down in the same apartment complex. She is here working as a medical lab tech at the hospital. Barb and her need to talk. She was using the rest stop as a place to study for a class she is taking for her masters degree.

When I rode up there was a Mexican there looking
for directions to San Antonio,  which I provided.
