Deep in the heart of Texas

Hi again from Houston.

There's not much to report of late without getting too involved in what's going on day to day - but we did manage to get over to San Antonio to see Tracy's brother Ross and how his fledgling counselling practice is progressing (very well seeing as you ask..).

Any other news is pretty mundane - I got a haircut and trimmed off most of the scruffy beard I had been cultivating. Tracy's been flogging off worldly possessions (such as we have left) on ebay - and doing pretty well I must say. Not a minute can pass without another glance at the website. We just came back from an evening at a friend of Tracy's parents'. They had some guests who were very interested in freighter travel - so we told them all about our experiences and shared some of their travel stories. All of this talk of travel is getting us back in the mood to get back out there!

We did manage to arrange some travel recently though - we booked a bus from here to Mexico. We'll be in Monterrey on the 15th of February - all being well. Quite where we're going to stay is another matter - one we'll hopefully sort out tomorrow.

Hopefully news of Mexico organisation soon!
