As we reluctantly departed from the Bar H Dude Ranch some of the locals came to see us off.

Kokila says goodbye to her new friends.

Kshetragna - words fail me (Ed.)

Running into Amarillo today we had great weather, cool and overcast most of the time.

Atulya enjoyed the soft surface as he was getting used to his new Vibram five-finger shoes - which resemble running barefoot.

Our women's team interviewed by the folks at KPAN radio in Hereford, Texas.

Overheard as Maria from Germany as she spoke live to the people Hereford explaining that two of our team members are still learning english. "Their english is a little bit little" she commented and then started laughing at the irony of her statement.

The highways were busy at times but we were finally able to get off the main roads and get on more rural roads into the city. Just at the very end of my last run for the day we encountered an electrical problem with our minivan we call ‘Kiwi’.

It seems we are having our share of vehicles (not pictured above) problems as usual, but the electrical problems have been the most prevalent and perplexing. Having had this problem a few weeks ago in this same vehicle, we tried to solve it with new fuses but it kind of resolved itself even before we replaced the fuses. This time the problem persisted and none of our digital gauges were working, so we drove it directly to a mechanic nearby. They immediately looked at it and diagnosed the problem, fixing it quickly.

Thanks to these guys as Young’s Automotive Mechanics on Canyon Drive our problem was solved in minutes and they did not even charge us. This is truly a meaningful and valuable donation to harmony and to our own efforts in trying to share that message around this country. To have people helping us with some of the technical difficulties that inevitably arise is a great boon for us. This is the third time in four days that we have had to visit mechanics for our vehicles and all of them have been extremely helpful and kind to us.

A trip to a supermarket is one of the daily chores out here on the road.

Usually it is only one team that goes but today all 12 of us got into the act of grocery shopping.

Arpan welcomes our newest team member who seemd satisfied with today's lunch.

The very novel Big Texan Motel hosted us to an authentic Texas experience

Lots of desert flowers adorned our running route.

We met some new friends at the Armstrong County building in Claude, Texas as part of an impromptu ceremony - they even offered us refreshments.

A long time supporter of the World Harmony Run - the Big Texan Motel is a much anticipated stop on our route.

Driving standards in Texas are on the upswing!

Beleive it or not everyone in this photo is from Moldova - These women were waiting tables at the Big Texan Motel and were surprised to meet Vladimir who is running through all 48 contiguous states.

A great day was completed with a delicious meal at Chili's - Thanks so much for your support.
