Made it to Los Mochis

Pulling out ready to hit the road.

Left the Las Jaibas RV park in Mazatlan about 9:30 am and are now safely tucked in between two 50ft trailers in Pemex 4925 just south of Los Mochis on the south bound side of the highway.  It is 3:30 so a short but usual day for us.  We retournoed just north of the Pemex and came back to it.  We are far back in the lot so we shouldn’t get too much dust.  There is a fifth wheel and motor home (both from California parked here as well.  Eric said they asked if we knew Manny when he said we’d been parked in Las Jaibas.  Small world.  We are too tired to chat when we are on the road so that’s all I know! 

We travelled the toll road all the way from Maz. to Mochis even though I told everyone we were taking the free road from Mazatlan to Culiacan.  Eric said there was too much brush between the entrance to the toll road and the free road (scratches the rig) so he decided to take the toll road.  Fast, easy and lots of tolls to pay.  Oh well, just a cost of doing business.  Tomorrow we will head out early for Guaymas and the Playa de Cortez hotel in Marimar. 

We had a few beers and then were off for  dinner in the restaurant.  They didn’t have pescado empanizado (breaded fish fillets) so we had chile relleno and fresh lemondade and it was fine.  It is gas station food so we don’t expect upscale cuisine and we are NOT fussy!  We watched a Mexican soap opera while we ate and as I have mentioned before you don’t need to understand Spanish to get what is going on.  Big boobs, big hair, big dresses, lots of crying and drama….funny as heck!   Even the waitress laughed when Eric gestured that he was wiping up his tears!  

Back to the rig for a short relax before bed.

Should be nice and quiet over night.
