We Made It!!

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Jaltemba, Nayarit, Mexico

We got off to another early start with the wheels rolling by 7:00 am.  We ran into some pretty thick fog for about 20 minutes.  In my opinion, we should have pulled off the road in a safe place and waited it out but that was not my decision to make.  It made for some white knuckle driving at 60 to 70 mph.  We did make a decision today that we will make sure we are in a good caravan next time.  Brian and JoLynn are our favorite leaders, but for some reason, they decided to let others lead the way this time.  After a few wrong turns and too fast driving yesterday and today, there were 6 of us that were not comfortable so we just slowed down on our own.  It was not taken very well by the 2 leaders, and they headed out on there own and left us to our own defenses.  Good thing JoLynn was still with us and she took over and all went well from then on.





Once we got closer to Tequila, the agave started showing up everywhere.  It seems like it will grow anywhere and they grow it right up to the side of the highway.



This was our trip today.  Another 700+ kms.  We are exhausted!


We arrived at Numero Uno RV park about 4:30 pm and Kenia and Oscar were there to meet us.  Joel came along as well to make sure we made it into the park ok.  It is nice to be back.  We just kinda stopped on the grass wherever as we are the only ones here right now.  We will settle into our rightful spot tomorrow.




Oscar and Kenia hung around for a while before they had to go to work at the Cafecito.  We will head down there later tonight.


We had time for a quick swim after setting up the MH for the night.  Very refreshing but a little warm.  90F.  


I did miss the actual sunset, but the afterglow here is generally pretty nice.  No different tonight.  



We were invited to join the people in our caravan for supper up at the big RV park.  Ceci cooked us up some burrito's and shrimp and there were some margarita's as well.  It was great to get our bellies full and chat with the people we had travelled with.  We generally make some long term friendships from these caravans, and I think that will be true this time as well.


After a nice supper, we headed downtown to Kenia's Cafecito.  It is sure nice to be back with them for a few months. 


This was the nice afterglow we saw this evening from the front seat of the MH. Not bad I must say. Off to bed we went.  Good Nite!!
