The local news publication states this area has not had a storm like we experienced last Tuesday since 1944. One article indicated it was part of a hurricane.
Saturday is action day. Vic installs the air bag for the front suspension, jury-rigs a plug for the fluid reservoir on one of the rear hydraulic levellers. Now only an oil change on the “to do” list before we hit the road to start north in a couple of weeks.
At 5 pm we head to the festival sponsored by The Amigos de Lo De Marcos in the town square. This event provides money to assist the town in projects such as repairing bathrooms at the Elementary School, building garbage collection centers, providing transportation for Senior Citizens, building Recycling Bins. An auction is held for items such as original oil paintings, a flight in an ultralight aircraft, surfing lessons, use of a condo in Puerto Vallarta for a week. There are also tables of clothing, household items and books for sale. There are vendors around the square selling food. We get ribs from Sugar & Spice for 20 pesos each, beef tacos from Saul for 20 pesos each plus drinks of squirt and tequila. We finish off the meal with a couple of churros each. It is a warm starry night – perfect for such an event.
The evening of Sunday February 7th we went out to Vista Guayabitos to celebrate Nancy’s 50th birthday! The restaurant is at the top of a hill located midway between the towns of Rincon de Guayabitos and Los Ayalos. The view is spectacular at night with the view of the bay and the town of Rincon de Guayabitos all lit up. Unfortunately we forgot the camera!
Monday the weather was dark and threatening rain most of the day. There were sprinkles off and on and one brief period of heavy rain. Mavis, Mike, Vic and Bev played Rumoli for the afternoon.
For a couple of days, we have been bothered by an animal that likes to roam our rig during the night. After escaping the mouse trap because this beastie was too big, we went into town and bought a rat trap. The next night, about 4 in the morning, we were awoken by a loud snap. Here is the victim of the Victor trap...12 inches looong from nose to tip of tail.
Wednesday afternoon the manager of Savages, Alfredo, and his wife Erica host a dinner for those of us who have been here for a month or more, plus some other gringos residing in the area that they have known for a long time. They served skewers of calamari, shrimp and fish as well as a full dinner of ribs, chili relleno, rice and salad. The food was delicious and a good time was had by all! Alfredo and Erica are hardworking individuals who keep this place running smoothly and the facilities spotless. We look forward to seeing them again next year. 
The guests included people from other campgrounds.
