The Weather's-a Changin'!

As expected...and quite obvious...the weather has been steadily warming as we've been driving south. Nick said his bike's thermometer read 99˚F as we passed down through New Mexico yesterday. Dry and hot!

Some chain maintenance in the hotel parking lot last night as the evening cooled.

Amidst the heat, I got a reminder of the cool of Alaska, though: an email from Carl and Jenny, who I met at the Arctic Circle. There was also a tour van that showed up at the same time we were there and we all got a group pic:

With Carl...

...and with Jenny.
It's nice to be reminded of the cooler weather...an image I'll try to keep in mind as I desiccate here in the desert.

Today, we'll cross into Mexico and aim for Parral, just south of Chihuahua. Our next big goal is to meet up with Hermanos Bravisimmo. I met them in 2013 at El Periplo, an excellent circus festival in Guadalajara, and in 2015 we brought them to KC to star in the show at the Kansas City Juggling Festival. They were a massive hit. It will be great to see them again.
