Runs-with-deer wins 1st place in Talent Show
We're in the Hill Country of Texas, enjoying the lush contrast to the many days we spent in the desert. On one remote road, Joanna heard something running alongside her and was surprised to discover it was a female deer... effortlessly keeping up with our bike pace. The doe chose to duck back into the woods when a car came along in the opposite direction.
We spent a day off in a couple of cabins in Vanderpool, TX. The only nearby entertainment was this great little motorcycle museum and deli (open 11-3 Fri-Sun) so the group decided to put on a "Talent(less) Show" to fill the later hours. The acts ranged from poetry readings to story telling and energetic songs (including a striking Tina Turner impersonation). Joanna and six of her cohorts took home the blue ribbon with their entertaining tune of "7 Old Ladies Stuck in a Lavatory."
