I was conflicted this morning. I wanted to watch the Tour, but I also wanted to ride before the temperatures hit 100 plus degrees. Since this stage doesn't end with a climb, I figured I would catch the replay later in the day.
I had read about a new Mexican restaurant on 8th Street called Paco & John Mexican Diner. It's supposed to be really good, and more importantly, inexpensive. I was in the mood for a plate of migas, so Paco & John's was my destination.
I find something new everytime I ride through the neighborhoods around TCU.
This is a nice little neighborhood garden. It appears to be filled with native plants and flowers. I guess that keeps the watering to a minimum.
My favorite cycling cap.
Quiet roads north of Park Hill and west of 8th.
Darn you Paco & John!!! Their website says that they open at 10 AM on Saturdays. A chalkboard sign in the window said that they wouldn't be opening till 11 AM. I was hungry so I took off looking for food.
Eqyptian Food. I don't have any idea what Egyptian's eat but I'll have to give this place a try.
I've eaten at Benito's before. It's not bad, but I wanted to eat somewhere different.
This is Ellerbe Fine Foods. It's a restaraunt as well as a market selling upscale foods as well as pre-packaged meals.
I was surprised to find migas on the menu. I was even more surprised that I enjoyed them. They weren't anything like my grandmother used to make, but they were tasty. The Breakfast Blend coffee was really good.
The new bike lane on Magnolia Avenue.
Texas hippies like to paint their vehicles.
This is one of the coolest houses in town. I had to sneak this photo as the homeowners were working in the garage.
