Yes, we’re still here in McAllen – and we’ve been busier than I could ever have imagined! So busy, in fact, that I haven’t even written my daily journal entries. I’ll do the best I can to remember the past few days!

Yesterday we headed over to Mission to ride their mountain bike trails. Mission Trails, another bicycle club in the valley, has created a wonderful network of single track crisscrossing a paved bike path in Mission, and Jack graciously offered to take us out on the trails. We had a blast – even though it was a short ride. Davy especially enjoyed the trails and couldn’t get enough of zooming up the hills, then barreling down.

The Vogel family left June 8, 2008 for a 2 1/2 year bicycle trip traversing the Pan-American Highway from Alaska to Argentina.
