So I say thank you for the music….

At the very moment I am in a Place called Pampa in Texas. Back home we usually say that we are in the middle of Pampa when we are completely lost. (Ich bin grad mitten in der Pampa) So I thought it is an appropriate time and place to tell all of you guys out there, who read my blog once in a while, that I am really really grateful for all the supportive and motivating messages you sent me over the past 6 month of my travels. Many times I just don’t find the online time to answer, so let me tell you one thing:
Thank you for your support! After all it is you, who keep me going on those endless roads towards New York.
As I write this some Texan man with big white hats are outside and take a closer look at my bike. They see me now… they already noticed that I am not from here and now they wave at me and smile… I wave back and nod. It reminds me somehow of India, where you stop somewhere and within seconds there are 15 Indians around you. The Texan Guys turn and leave now. They don’t know where I go, and if they asked I told them I cross this continent. Then they would open their eyes wide in disbelief and say “Wow, fella, that’s a long way to go!” and “Take good care on your trip, buddy! Have a safe ride.”
Those little things can make a whole day bright.
Knowing that you in front of your screen think of me sometimes, knowing that people wish me a safe ride while travelling and other bikers on the road, who greet me- what else could I wish for!
