We left Mazatlan on Thursday, November 17th at 7:45 am, driving the "libre" (free) highway south rather than the "cuota" (toll) road. We drove to San Blas and followed the road along the coast. A comfortable drive with no mountains to go over. Going this route saved us $1000 pesos ($77 CAD) in toll charges.
After stops for lunch and to fill our propane tanks, we arrived in Lo de Marcos about 3:30 in the afternoon. We spent the rest of Thursday and all Friday setting up our site -- putting up our satellite for TV reception, putting out the awning, side curtains for the patio, patio rug and furniture. We hung 2 hummingbird feeders and have about 4 varieties of hummingbirds coming to feed.
The weather here is warm -- 30C in the daytime and 22C at night. The Pacific Ocean is warm -- Vic took our pool thermometer with us yesterday when we went for a swim. 85F! We get wet but don't cool off but it is relaxing to float in the water.
We travelled 3,529 miles from our home in Thornhill, ON to Lo de Marcos.
We spent
$1600 for gasoline for the RV (lowest price in US we paid was $3.04 per gallon in Lubbock TX)
$193 in tolls
$179 in campground fees
Our monthly fee for our site here in Lo de Marcos is $5,000 pesos ($385 CAD) per month.
