We spent a long few days making our way across the country. It’s a surprisingly long way from Mexico City to the Pacific Coast. After San Miguel we made the short fifty mile hop on over to Guanajuato. From there it was 200 miles to Guadalajara, which has, quite frankly, … Read More
Out of Gas
We left PV early this morning, eager to put a few miles under the wheels before the sun started beating down on us. We didn’t get far. About a mile down the road the engine sputtered for a few seconds. Hmmm? Out of gas? Can’t be, we’ve only gone 175 … Read More
Reminiscing in Puerto Vallarta
Just like with boats, RVs don’t fare well when left sitting. We spent two full months in Mazatlan and the day we left I started the engine and discovered that the rear main seal was leaking again. That’s the one that leaves a puddle of oil on the ground after … Read More
Not Scrooges
Had drinks on the beach with some friends, and as we tend to do whenever somebody who actually knows how to handle a camera is around we rallied the troops for family photos. And just to show that we’re not total Scrooges, there’s a couple shots of our Christmas decorations … Read More
The Whole Family
Ouest is starting to turn into a sweet little girl. Yes, I say starting to. She’s never been much of the kissy-poo type, but the last few days she’s been handing out kisses and hugs at totally random times. Then tonight when Ali was laying her down for bed they … Read More
A Ride
Plopped the dinghy in the water for a little ride this afternoon. First time we’ve had to throw a life jacket on Lowe. He didn’t seem to mind. Even if it is Dora.
Super-Duper
Ouest has been asking for a kite forever. I’m not even sure why we haven’t gotten one sooner, but today we noticed these cheapos in some random clothing store in the mall and picked up a couple. To say that Ouest was excited just wouldn’t do the emotion justice. The … Read More
Vamos
Every time we are here for more than a couple of weeks Ali says what she said today, “We have to get out sailing.”
What’s FB?
We took the bus to the other side of the marina today. Our marina is a river/estuary, so to get to the other side—to the other marinas and restaurants—requires a bus or water taxi. Anyway, we went over there, grabbed some ice cream at the OXXO (convenience store, which we … Read More
Loo
On Sunday nights the resort here has a welcome party/show that is routinely invaded by cruisers for the free drinks. Ali and Ouest have turned it into a sort of mother-daughter weekly outing. They both knock back a couple of pina coladas and then, apparently, get crazy. Each week they … Read More
