Day Six

Today we when from west of San Antonio to the Border.  We realized that we were not going to make the border in time to meet with the Transmigrant company so we decided to drive slower and more relaxed.  We stopped just outside of San Antonio and took showers and did laundry in the sink.  (We also bought underwear).  Chris Pfaff completed his part of the journey and is meeting up with friends in Corpus Christi, then flying home.  We thank Chris for all his help.  His mechanic and long haul trucking experience was priceless.
We spoke with the Transmigrant company and the paperwork has all been submitted and approved and we should have no problems in the morning.  We have stocked up on pesos for any and all potential expenses that we may occur in Mexico.
Right now we are driving to the Transmigrant company which apparently is smack dab in the middle of nowhere.
The rigs are running very well.  We stopped at a truck stop and changed oil and stocked up for Mexico.  While we were there we were able to sell a t-shirt to a Guatemalan that was very grateful for what we were doing.
Depending on how quickly we can process through the border we will be getting to at least Tampico.  If we get through quickly we will make it further.
