We hit the road and actually got out of Mazatlan on schedule!
The roads are narrow with lots of traffic going through town, and the directions can get crazy. Trying to follow the GPS is a joke, because most of the roads aren’t on it! And, so, as I am looking around where to go, I got a bit close and hit a vendors truck and tore off the right mirror on the RV!! OMG!! So, I pulled over,Owen was (needless to say) a bit freaked out…so Owen jumped out and the guy was walking to him with the mirror…no damage to his property thank goodness! He was very kind, and would not accept any money, saying nothing was wrong! So, I guess we have a bit more driving room on that side for a while . I suppose that if this is the worst that happens, we are doing great!
We had no problems finding Onac RV Park. When we arrived, there were only 3 other RV’s and one camper. And when I say right on the beach, I mean right on the beach! Exactly what we have been dreaming of. (pic coming soon)
The first folks we met were Bob and Dot. They had lived in their 32 foot trailer for 30 years and loving every year of it! They had lots of information for us! There were also another nice couple, Larry and Gene. Larry had his own network with him for internet connection…via satellite….he had 3 or 4 of them! Very nice folks indeed!
It was great! Playing Frisbee on the beach almost every morning was fun and good exercise in the sand. I had not played for a long time, and it took me a few days to get good at it again. Owen did much better, throwing with either hand.
We went for walks on endless stretches of vacant beach…well, there were a bunch of crabs if they count! We had just gotten some boogie boards…went out a couple of times…the water was still a bit cool.
It seems that every laundry room is different. There was only one washer and one dryer here. I never used the dryer, but the one washer worked great! You have to do your laundry early, or it won;t dry on the line because of the humidity! But there is plenty of breeze!!!
Another thing that I like to do is watch the sun setting with a brewskie…….signaling the end of another beautiful day in paradise! Owen has been trying to catch the green flash that can occur just as the last of the sun goes away on video. That would be awesome!
The small town of Tiacapan was fun and we practiced speaking our spanish a bit. It seems that wherever we go, our needs are met. Everyone is very friendly and heart centered.
We mostly ate cooked chicken off the grill, that folks set up outside their homes, and beef cooked the same way. The meals come with homemade tortillas, bean soup, lettuce and tomato and sometimes a pasta salad, depending where you go. Many meals for about 7 american dollars. Shopping is fun! Lots of tacos! There were also oysters on the half shell fresh daily. So Awesome!!
I started back to work while we were here using skype as a great tool for some long distance healing work. Skype worked really well, and I had some fantastic sessions with a few clients. It felt really good to be back to work! It gave me a sense of my self again.
The showers had great water pressure and they were hot as can be, and the pool was lovely as well. With that, we chose to stay for 2 weeks.
The day before we took off, about 6 new campers and RV’ers pulled in. A couple (Paul and Terry) that we met write an online RV forum, which was great!! Lots of info and you can chat with the other RV’ers. We ended up meeting a fun couple that parked right next to us. Jerry and Florence from Canada. They were headed south as well. We ended up meeting up with them at the next trailer park, which was in Lo De Marcos.
What a great time at Onac RV Park!
