I took this picture at about 3 oclock on March 9. It’s 30 something degrees C (about 90F) and they are all waving goodbye to Marilyn & Larry. They all look pretty happy. We are truly enjoying the moment but inside,really we are extremely sad. When you read this we will be on our way to Guadalajara and beyond . Yes, we are ready to hit the road, but …..
Once again we have made some extremely good friends. We look forward to getting back to our family and Ontario, but we also look forward to our return in November, now just 8 months away.
Although we were not “actually” with you for the last 5 months Larry & Marilyn, we were with you in spirit thru your blogs and photos….we have been to Matzatlan on a cruise a few years ago and can relate only in a small way (only spent one day there) of your experience in living there….it is one of Mexico’s best kept secrets!!!
Larry, you should be a travel journalist….Rick Steves is no match when it comes to blogging.
Your descriptions backed up with photos were moving and inspiring….we felt as if we could touch and feel and see and smell everything you did.
See you in April…and have a very safe trip coming home.
She is calling this one Benji’s Tree. Benji is a donkey so he doesn’t actually have a tree but this one is certainly unique and grows out of the rocks on Goat Island near Benji’s Pizza. I’ll bet Benji the donkey has even chewed a few leaves from this tree from time to time.
It seems that we hear about more and more violence in this region of Mexico every week. We are aware and we try to be careful.
The lock you see on the RV Park gate came last week after a Calgary man was shot in the leg during an apparent burglary of their motorhome in a Mazatlan RV park.
Yesterday afternoon 2 Mexican Police Officers Were Killed right outside another Mazatlan RV park while RVers huddled in their coaches and listened. Our park is miles away from either of the other incidents.
We are scheduled to head back north tomorrow and we will leave right on time. We are travelling with another couple and yes, we will pay attention. The irony is that normally when some one is moving on down the highway we offer them “Safe Travels”. Now, when we leave tomorrow morning we will offer those who are staying longer “Safe Staying”
I hope the authorities get things sorted out down here and we both hope that we feel comfortable enough to come back this fall. To our fellow RVers where ever you may be out there, Let’s be Safe
