Galeana has a new restaurant
The La Bonita restaurant has opened across the street from the famous (but now closed) El General restaurant. We ate here during our Labor Day ride and the food is good. It’s a pretty fancy place for Galeana. I hope … Continue reading →
Winning hearts and minds
While enjoying a cold Coke outside a small store in Mainero, Mexico, this older fellow asked me if I would buy him one too. So I did.
Don’t even think about it
