... at the brokers at 10 am. Because we had slept in the Flying J parking lot it was unsafe to let the girls out anywhere so they never got out at all after pulling out of Yale at 11 pm on the 19th. I looked out the window and the vet had come and sealed the trailer already. Last chance to walk gone. :(<br><br>So, once Juan arrived we hooked up and headed out. 20 minutes later it was pitch black and ...

... bit after that I helped mamaw clean the motor home. After that I played water volleyball. At 8:30 I took mamaw on a long ride in the golf cart. When we got back I watched the rest of Harry Potter! I don't think we are ready to leave yet. Maybe by tomorrow afternoon.

... we arrived in Houston, we were kept waiting 10 minutes before we were released from the plane. We ran across terminal B, caught the air-train to terminal C, then ran to our gate. I was waving as we ran to the gate agent, who kept waving us on ... but we made it! Whew. Just missed the BART train once we landed in SFO, but it wasn't that long of a delay. Home by 11pm ... just need to figure out how to get the car from the San Jose airport tomorrow ...

... but I don't think it worked well. When we went out to dinner, to Costa Messa, the humidity had broken, and it was actually fairly pleasant. Tried to find the new downtown ... but no luck. McAllen is just flat, streets in grids, and endless big-box strip malls. Except for Furr's Buffet, a ridiculou name, I didn't even see any shops of interest. Major thunderstorm at night, starting around 3am.

Had to drive to San Jose to fly to Texas ... and the airline tickets were still over $800. The San Jose airport was a mess with construction; ugh. Flight to Houston was on time, which was amazing, considering the thunderstorms which were reported in the area. We had an hour layover in Houston, which was the perfect amount of ...

... colonial terrace of a restaurant (Los Arcos) overlooking the Zocalo and church, watching & listening to the performers in the square Stayed in a room that is like a monk´s cell - sparse, damp, small, no windows, exposed stone walls, beamed ceiling!

... anywhere open that was cheap, we ended up back in the restaurant on the square that we had looked at first and gladly paid the extra for a very large meal with air con, phew!! Later we explored inside the beautiful Franciscan cathedral which had the largest glass chandeliers I have ever seen in a churchl! To the side of it there was a small garden which on entering we realised was a graveyard of sorts with bodies (we think) in what can only be described as 'lockers in the wall ...

... witness the incident. He steps out in the road, stops the traffic while i retrieve the hat!! Well and truly lost Kathryn by this point - but luckily we know we`ll both be drawn to the local Taco cafe! After lunch we think we`ll try the other direction along the coast. We negotiate our way down the pier and start to head back when the heavens open, no escape we are drenched through, so carry on through the power shower rain in song all the way back to ...

WEATHER: hot (above 100 degrees), clear. TOTAL MILEAGE: 211.3 miles All currency is in pesos. I took a short walk to successfully but expensively find cameras ($99 each). Very hot, even at 9:00 AM! I let Charlie sleep until nearly 11:00, when we started to pack out, getting on the road around noon. We made only one quick gas and sandwich stop at 7-11 and were thus able to reach Campeche by 4:00. We did have one toll to pay- $113. It's a World ...
