Pie day

We rode 61 miles to Deming today, 63 if you count the extra miles to the pie place.  We have been doing a lot of highway riding, but today we were on very quiet roads most of the way, although we did have 10 miles on I-10.  We are back in warmer weather, and we had some wind the last 20 miles, with even an occasional dust devil.  One of the advantages of weighing a bit more than I would like is that I seem to have an easier time in the wind than those with figures I envy.

Coming out of Las Cruces we crossed the Rio Grande, although at this point Rio Pequeno seems more accurate.

The high point of the day was a visit to the Elisa’s House of Pie.  That’s Elisa next to me.  She says she has a repertoire of 189 different pies, and she makes 6 to 8 varieties a day.  I had the pineapple coconut pecan chess pie, which was way more delicious than it looks.
