Not much doing today. We relax in the hot pool. Laura would just love it! Hot hot hot. They say the water is about 101 F in the morning after they have re-filled it.
Later on we head into the village to find the bank and do some small shopping. We join up with a couple, Paul and Penny, from Alberta that arrived yesterday afternoon. We find the bakery down an alley and come out with 2 cream filled buns and 2 pineapple turnovers.
Paul and Penny relate their tale of travelling from Puerto Vallarta to Villa Corona via Hwy 70, a two-lane twisty road through the mountains. They blew a tire along the way and had to get it repaired, and they have even less Spanish knowledge than us. One night, they opted to stay over at a Pemex station in one of the small towns along the way. At 2 AM, they get a knock at the door. A cop is outside urging them to get on to some other Pemex in the next town. The cop tells them this Pemex has been robbed twice in the last week and if they robbers come back again, they would rob them and take their motorcycle too.
Paul doesn’t recommend this road for a large RV like ours so we settle on our pre-planned route to Lo de Marcos.
The propane odor lingers…manana.
