Sunday was a good day

Monday Dec. 28, 2009





Yesterday we finally got out in the truck and did a tour of Mazatlan as we needed to do a bit of shopping. We went down the beach road toward the Gold Zone and since it was Sunday the traffic was relatively light. This was my first journey around the town although Eric had been out and around on the Harley. We made it to the Mega mall where we picked up a good supply of groceries and then continued on to find Walmart. We then headed back down to the beach road and the Gold Zone and made a circle back up to try and get back to the water guy to fill our jugs. Bad luck he's closed on Sundays. Oh well it was a good trip anyway.





Some food items are really cheap here. A loaf of fresh bread and nine hoagie type buns - about $1.70 total - 4 fresh grapefruit .84cents total and as long as you stick to non North American name brands groceries are a good price. Currently our grocery bill is running about $100.00 per week including beer which is not too shabby.



Eric was out on the bicycle yesterday and was exploring the property right behind us and he was tracked down by a Mexican guard on an ATV who escorted him off the property. With a little sign language the guard informed Eric that insurance was a problem and he was not allowed on the property.



Today Eric went out on another little Harley journey and I stayed home to clean out the cupboards in the RV. Sounds a little boring for me but it's something I really don't want to do in the summer while we are at home. Late this afternoon it has clouded over and light rain is falling. Not a bad thing as it is still warm and is not like last year in Mesa when it was close to freezing when it rained. It's a restful sound to us, much like being at home only warmer!



We had a little walk on the beach this afternoon and again saw a Mexican fishing. He caught a nice small tuna like fish but then unhooked it and threw it back. We must find out why they don't keep these nice looking fish. I suppose they must not be good to eat.



So things are quiet here right now although a few rigs have come in from Alberta today and so who knows how many people will still arrive. This included two more Harleys and Sam is really excited. He says this is the first time he's seen so many Harleys here in the park. He and Eric will check that out tomorrow.
