October 6th (dia seis) - Getting ready
This day wasn't too eventful, just hanging out in Houston passing the time, waiting for Mihai's parts to arrive at the motorcycle shop. He'd purchased a new chain and sprokets for his bike, as his have mostly become chewed and gunked up.
We didn't actually make much progress this day as we took down the Malaria pills and this was quite the shock on our system. We hit the road and made it as far as Walmart to purchase a few things...
However the full effects hit us hard and we became very fatigued, a bit dizzy and just overwhelming exhausted. We managed to get the essentials though, preparation H and vitamins!
We made quick way back to Dru's house, where Mihai simply passed out and I strugged through the dizziness to chat a bit more with some friends.
After recovering, we dropped by the garage to check on my bike and apparently the squeeky brake is normal, otherwise the parts arrived for Mihai, we got our hair cut for three dollars... prepared a feast for our kind hostess Dru, who has not only taken us in but provided us with so much! Watched some TV and passed out, prepared at last for our great adventure into Mexico, however we were still quite a distance and who knew what could happen...
