Days 17 & 18: New Mexico to Mexico

Our ride from Deming to Douglas on Wednesday morning was a short one at 2.5 hours. It wasn’t as scenic as what we had grown used to seeing so we didn’t stop as many times – just for the usual gas and water, mostly. We did have to pull over to the side of the […]

Days 15 & 16: Currency Exchange and Coffee Politics
