Aw....it is so nice to be in the land where the butter doesn't get hard overnight. 79F at 4 pm -- lovely! We spent two nights in San Carlos at our favorite campground,Totonaka. We ate a nice dinner across the street at Charlies Rock, right on the shore. On Saturday we drove with our friends to the Delfinario to see a 30 minute sea lion show and a 30 minute Dolfin show -- all for the price of 50 pesos each for seniors! (less than $4).

On Sunday, we hit the road again for a shorter drive to Los Mochis, about half way to Mazatlan. It was the first time we've ever driven in rain in Mexico.  Our tow cars were covered in mud by the time we arrived in Los Mochis! We made sure that the bikes were locked to the carrier on the car and the alarm was set. Stories abound of bikes stolen during the night at this campground. We awoke after a not so quiet night with the rain bouncing on the roof. Bikes were still there but the campground was a bit of a quagmire. We exited OK and were back on the road again by 8:30 AM.

Next stop...Mazatlan and the San Fernando campground. We booked in for a two night stay and got settled in. The day was overcast but 76F (24C) at 2 pm and very muggy.  Supper was at the Fat Fish restaurant for their famous ribs. A nice spot to hit once or twice a year.

This morning we took a long walk on the beach and returned a little sweaty. Nice huh? A Mexicano came by offering to do our travel buddy's windshield cover. Mike couldn't resist the very competitive price and we both locked in for another day so the work can be done tomorrow. For a little over $400 the windshield cover, wiper covers and mirror covers will be provided. That compares to over $600 for a quotation he had in the US. Alas not as good as we got in Alamo Texas. It now looks like a very good deal at US$250.
