texas-004.aviJust around noon as I was leaving Midland this wind started to pick up.In minutes the area was covered in dust.I have dust every where,as I write it is still blowing strong. As I was trying to take a picture of the dust storm my new camera was switched to video,so this is the result.

The drive to Puerto Vallarta took three hours.The closer I got to the city the worse the road got.From our campground there is no gas station for over 100km on hwy 200. It is more cloudy and cooler here.

Ernst and I are spending a few days in around lake Chapala.Today we payed a visit to town Chapala,not as nice as Zacatecas.Water level is up in the lake,but it is brown and weedy.There is heavy traffic on the single road.We should arrive in Zamora in couple of days.First picture is Jamay then Chapala and Ajijic.
