Last Friday Eric and I along with Frank and Sandi were off on another road trip. We'd decided to have lunch at the hotel in La Noria but as it's only a hop and a skip away so we decided to head south on the bypass and circle around back to La Noria.
There's a little piece missing at the end but we did get home!
You can see that gas prices are way up in Mexico too! Close to $6.50 a metric gallon for regular and higher for diesel.
After we left the bypass heading to El Recodo there are many small villages along the way.
Disc's for the fields..we gave some at home that Eric still uses.
I wonder what they sell in this boutique?
Huge chicken barns. Chicken is the main staple in Sinaloa.
Not sure what's growing but it's nice and green.
Here umbrellas are used for sun as well.
More farming equipment.
The open two lane highway...very quiet!
We should have turned left just before El Recodo so in we went.
A very pretty little town.
As soon as we stopped we were quickly greeted by a very nice Mexican man. When he realized we didn't speak Spanish he came back a man who did. Very friendly and welcoming.
Frank and Sandi had been here years ago and so had Eric on his motorcycle.
Just ahead on the right they were cooking pork for carnitas. They wouldn't br ready until later in the afternoon.
Frank and Sandi went down the street to turn around.
I had some issues with my camera taking movies instead of photos so here we are in La Noria. Nice green hay..probably alfalfa.
Just a colorful building.
Everyone should have a muscovy duck in their fountain and a few chickens running around!
Up the long stairs to the roof.
A decent menu and very reasonable prices. Eric was having stomache issues so he just nibbled off my plate of shrimp with rice and salad.
While we were eating a huge group of what looked like high school students came in. It's a very large three floor building with rooms on the second floor and restaurant on the first and third floor. Those young people had a great time.
It's hot inland so we were tired when we got home.
What a pretty little town, there are so many of them within a day's drive from Mazatlan. I can't believe the price of gas! How do locals afford it! When we first drove into Mexico gas was seven pesos per litre!
