Day 226. March 20, 2014. Housework!

LOCATION:  Alpine, TX....about 100 miles north of Big Bend

WEATHER:  Cold at night (need heat).  Sunny, 75 during day

This is a "work" day.  I did a ton of laundry, including all the sheets and blankets.  We replaced the carpet.  We really track in a lot of dirt.  Here I am, scrubbing the floor.

We also did grocery shopping.  I stocked up on back-up food, like tuna, SPAM, beans as we will be without a grocery store next week.  We picked up George's bike which was repaired at a local bike shop.  

Then, we "played".....visited a local museum, then went to Harry's Tinaka Bar.  A Tinaka is an Indian stone vessel for catching water.  Harry turned out to be a German!

 Saw way too many tattoos and piercings.  

Then we went back to the Saddle Club for dinner.  Great food.  We had cold cucumber gazpacho and a delicious steak hoagie

This campground, like many, has a library.  People drop off books, CDs, and DVDs, and pick up others.  I loaded up to prepare for the road.  We will be heading west again.
