Day 16 Fort Davis to Marathon

Howdy yall, well yalls are having a fabulous time in Texas. The scenery has changed drastically and the drivers are thoughtful and happy to see us. Everyone waves at us as they pass us by.Although, we still had 1500ft of climbing, Lola still enjoyed the ride as much as I did. We rode 53 very rough miles. The road was very rough. The pebbles in the pavement are more like small cobbles. Each pedal stroke took so much strength. My knees were hurting. Lola was hurting elsewhere... LOL!!! Still we loved the ride. And, we are still smiling... :) We arrived in Marathon and were floored to see the quaint and charming little town that it is... First Joe found us a really cute very old west little motel with bungalows. And a very beautiful courtyard with rockers and benches. To sit at night for stargazing. We clean up and go look for a place to eat. Well, there was only one place to go. It was The Gage Hotel and Restaurant. Let me tell you, it was first class. They had a *****Star Restaurant/Motel. The food was the best we have had thus far... And we have had some yummy bisquits. And Lola tried the buttermilk pie. We did a little stargazing. The stars shined in all their glory...
Well, our spirits are high. The weather is great . We are working on our funky tan lines.
