Well better it happened here than in the middle of the Mexican Desert. We were merrily on our way today on a beautiful two lane highway when our trusty Nissan had a bit of a hiccup. As we reached the small city of Uvalde, Texas, we heard the nasty screeching of metal on metal on the front end...a blown wheel bearing. Oh well, at least we are safe and sound and that this happened in an urban setting.
Being Sunday in Southern Texas, unfortunately nothing is open today, after all it is the day of rest. Luckily we were only 2 km from hotel row and we were able to stop at a Motel 6 who's staff were extremely accommodating by letting us check in early for no additional charges, and even suggested some locations as to where we would be able to get the truck repaired in the morning. Southern hospitality at its best!
Mic is making the most of it and is watching the Daytona 500. Apparently Molly is a NASCAR fan too as she is glued to the television watching the action. LOL.
So for now, some interesting trivial facts about Uvalde courtesy of my big sister. Uvalde is dubbed "The Honey Capitol of the World". It is also the birthplace of one of my favourite actors, A-lister Matthew McConahey. Go figure.
Have a great day all! We are hoping to be back on the road tomorrow.
