It turns out Silver City is no big deal. There's a downtown that is struggling to attract visitors by offering funky little shops, competing with Walmart and the big hotels out on the highway bypass.
So, the day consisted of finding a cute restaurant for breakfast, followed by the best coffee on the route (according to Paul), then lubing the chain and servicing the bike. By then it was time for a lunch of buffalo wings, beer, and NCAA basketball; a short nap, then a cinnamon mocha and more basketball. Somewhere in that busy schedule I found time to write an email, rearrange my bags, and start a new book. Now I'm heading out for dinner, more beer, and yet another basketball game. Such is life on the road.
Tomorrow we head up to Gila National Park to tour the ancient cliff dwellings after our ride.
I was worried you were going to miss basketball . . . . and beer.
