Motorcycle Ride

Monday, January 19, 2015 - Uvalde, TX

Mike did not have to work today since it is MLK Day.  He gets government holidays down here.  :)  So I worked a couple of hours yesterday and I worked til noon today.  Then we went for a ride on the motorcycle.  :)  We headed down to Crystal City and then on down to Carrizo Springs.  Crystal City is about 40 miles away and Carrizo Springs is an additional 10 miles past there.  An oil company has decided to build their headquarters down there, so there is a lot of construction going on just outside of town, but the downtown area is all but abandoned.  As we drove around we did come upon this beautiful church.


It is Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church.

After leaving Carrizo Springs we headed back up to Crystal City to find Popeye, which is the towns mascot.  They were known for all of the spinach grown here.  We found the original in front of city hall.

Then we found this one just a couple of blocks over.  It was near where a festival was going on for MLK Day.


After finding Popeye, we decided it was time for DQ.  :) 

It was a really nice ride back.  The temperature was around 79.  Very nice!

It was another wonderful day!
