After 15 days at Matamoros,Mexico we finally go to US consulate for interview.Then things start to go fast.We tell them about our trip and our plans for US.After interview they said come back 3
o´clock and your visas are ready!We like to thank these people from US consulate at Matamoros.They we really kind for us and understand what was name of the game.We also like thank Christina Miller,
who make many calls to US consulate and make things running fast.Thanks!
After we pick up our visas,we ride to US custom at Brownsville and this time they let us in.
We take hotel from Brownsville.Iris and Arturo come late that evening also to Brownsville and we eat late dinner with me.They just wanted to make sure that we are leaving Mexico,he hee!
Next morning we ride to local motorcycle shop called Border Line Customs.They change our oils and put new front tires.My front brake master cylinder start to leak.They put new repairing kit but damage was in cylinder.They call to Wayne ,owner of motorcycle shop at San Benito and he said that he has used one if I like to buy.So we ride to San Benito and visit Wayne´s shop.Wayne is old school biker,he has collect Harley parts more than 50 years!He is building now motorcycle from 1911!

After visiting Wayne´s motorcycle shop we ride Victoria,spend one night there and next morning

we keep on going to Houston Space Center.Houston Space Center is place to visit,we recommend.

One story I like to tell,we visit also Flight control center,That is place they control all Apollo flights

at early days.There was also one screen what shows live picture from US space station what is flying

around the earth.They tell us that it flies 16 times around the earth in one day.So that means ,those

people who are up there they see 16 sun rises and 16 sunsets every day!!!How cool is that?

Per is touching the moon,It is moon stone you touch

Houston we have a problem!

After space center we ride little bit more and spend one night at Beumont.We visit local harley dealear ,Cowboy Harley Davidson .We buy some oil ,start reley , brake fluid and new hat for Per.

Next day we take smaller roads at sea side and ride thru many wild life areas.We saw alligators,wild boars,pelicans etc..Really nice ride.There was also old men catching blue crabs.They use chicken legs as bites.Lucky fellows,they can eat blue crabs everyday if they want!

Before Jennings Per´s battery broke.Per took my bike ride local Harley dealer at Lake Charles.When I was waiting beside the road ,more than 10 people stop and offer their help.That always warm up my heart!When he came back ,we put new battery in but that was also dead!Then one man stop by,his name was Chad ,he also ride Harleys and offer his help too,he call back to Harley dealer and ask if they can bring new battery for us and make sure that this time it is ok.They said no problem we charge one new battery and we make sure that it is full charge and bring it to you.After one hour waiting they call back and tell that this battery is also dead!What a joke!

Per and Chad jump to Chad´s car and ride back to Harley dealer and they give money back.Then

they ride to battery shop and came back.We put new battery on and problem was solved,

Thanks Chad!
