| The picture didn't turn out very good, but I'll introduce everybody anyway. Left to right: Dave Bassett, Herman van Beek, Bo Griffin, Bobby Fox and Robert Whitley (picture taken at the Road House Restaurant in Laredo the night before departure into Mexico) |

Robert riding along in 39 degree temperatures |

A wet spot on my lense reflecting the wet weather we had between Laredo and Monterrey |
|
Dave is tredging along (wet and cold doesn't mix well) |
|
Herman is making the best of what was the worst part of our trip south |
|
A little construction along the way |
|
Finally started breaking out of the crud and the day looked much much better |
|

Stopping in Matehuala for lunch |

A youngster taking a photo opportunity |
|
It's above 70 degrees and we've decided to just have lunch next to our bikes |
|
The streets in downtown San Luis Potosi remind me a lot about Italy |
|
Walking the streets of San Luis takes you by several street vendors |
|
We opted to eat indoors at a restaurant recommended by our hotel. It worked out real nice. |
|
Just outside the restaurant, they started a light show up against one of the buildings |
|
Very entertaining |
|
Constantly flashing new scenes |
|
And, there were other characters amongst the crowd. |
|
I couldn't stop shooting photos of the changing lights |
|
More |
|
And more |
|
And more |
|
Several of the crowd members were creating mini hot air balloons and launching them |
|
Off, it goes. |

Inside the very popular church and all it's grandeur |
|
Hey, how did I lose control of the camera? |
