TX Traveler - my hubby and I look at the picture - it wasn't that bad - I was thinking of the really big ones - he's a small guy - my bike would set him straight. It's the big ones that freak me out - like hugh. We cycled today avoiding several big rattlers - as long as I'm on my road bike - no problem. Since you're from S. A. - hopefully you'll be in on the celebration when Lance arrives home. I used to live in Austin many moons ago with first hubby. Loved it.
I now own a copy of Bus Across Mexico if anyone needs info.
Ciao,
