Don't Mess with Texas

This saying is on all the anti-littering signs around the state of Texas, and it makes me laugh each and every time. We ended up having two sort-of days off this week due to an incident in Amarillo and needing to leave that host a day early. Our scheduled day off consisted of us waking up before 7am and speaking with the YMCA staff, then finding a new host, and shuttling people to Dalhart the town we were biking to the following day. Luckily the Baptist Church here agreed to take us a day early! We spent half the day in Amarillo, explored a coffee shop, and watched two members of our group attempt to eat a 72oz steak at the Big Texan Restaurant. Unfortunately neither of them succeeded :( One had 14oz left at the end of the hour, and the other puked with 3 minutes left, so close! The the leaders drove everyone and their bikes to site, and we had another day off in Dalhart. I was able to sleep in, upload some photos here/ to facebook and went out for some authentic Texas Mexican food! Mexican is one of my favorites, and so I was very excited!!!
