Something You Don’t See Much... . Me checking into a hotel. Feels odd, after so many nights camping or in truck stops or pulling off into rest areas for a few hours. . Been a frustrating week or more of wiring and airbag sensor problems and trying to track down just what the hell is going on. . That, and climbing around on dirt and cold pavement under my van to fix things, and trailer to drain and winterize it cause I’m not headed south already, *and* being bummed about missing two events I really wanted to attend (though one turned out to be a huge #mudfest2018), well, I decided a night or two in a building might be in order. . Great Mexican restaurant nearby, too (2nd pic), so at least I’m eating well. The kind of place where the music coming from the kitchen is a lot more lively and better than the dining room and the staff all loves you when they realize you’re a borderlands guy. Very cool staff here too, all happy and jostling and joking with each other. I feel included and like I’m on the border again, even if only for a couple hours. . . #ahotelreally #nomad #roadrepairs #mexican #greatfood #ontheroad #vanlife #overlandexpo #missedconnections #tamales #cerveza #wanderlust #maybeillgoswimming #ifitaintonethingitsanother #airbags #checkingin #hotelnight #letsgosomewhere #letsgetlost #warmanddry #borderlands #headingtotexas #southbound #solotravel #cestlavie #goodfoodgoodcompany #takeabreak (at United States) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqEAyb_hYOt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=t9q258ha2a6p
