Friday February 22…9:30pm
Woke up to a cloudy windy morning. Used the free internet from the RV park across the road and contacted the Formosa Plastics Co. They have a huge plant across the causeway in the town of Point Comfort. We had read that they do free factory tours, so decided this was something to do. Made our appointment for 1:30pm.

Magnolia Beach, Texas
Thursday February 21…10:00pm
Got up early and moved right away to be able to use the internet. Booked Lindsey and Justins flight to visit us in Florida March 8-17. Not easy to get good prices during March break, so we ended up using a combination of Air

Woke up this morning to the sound of a few raindrops on the roof. I haven’t seen any precipitation since December 4th…about 10 weeks.

Beeville, Texas
Tuesday February 19…10:00pm
Although we both slept well last night, we both woke up early this morning. There was quite a bit of truck traffic around the Walmart we were parked at in Laredo, Texas but most of it was other truckers who were sleeping. Not

Laredo, Texas!
Monday February 18…9:15pm
Set the alarm for 6am this morning. We wanted to get through the town of Garcia well before morning rush hour traffic started, so got up early and had our coffee and tea while on the road. Drove around Monterrey and then

Garcia Caverns
Sunday February 17…8:30pm
Up around 7am this morning and got Sherman ready for the road again. Used the electricity to do a quick vaccuum, and emptied the holding tanks and filled the fresh water. We’re happy campers again.

Saltillo (day 2)
Saturday February 16… 11:00pm
All our neighbours disappeared early this morning, so never got a chance to speak with them. License plates were from Quebec though. We didn’t get up until almost 8:00am, and by then they were packed and leaving. We relaxed

Saltillo

Woke up this morning feeling great! Stomach better, and slept like a baby. Well, except for the truckers coming and going. But even they were not bad considering it was a busy truck stop and it was open 24 hours. Anyhow, bottom line is that I feel fine!

Near Torreon
Thursday February 14…9:15pm
Lots of trucks driving by, and still a bad stomach meant that sleep wasn’t very consistant last night. Still, we didn’t get up until 8am. (Which really was still 7am, because we went through another time change yesterday). Felt better though, so got ready to start driving.

Twisty road to Durango
Wedneday February 13…9:30pm
A bit of a late start, having caught up on sleep from the lack of it last night. By the time we said our goodbyes to Lee, it was pretty close to 11am. I felt well enough to drive, but still not 100%. I guess it takes a few days for these

Mazatlan (day 3)
Tuesday February 12…8:30pm
Very lazy day today. I didn’t sleep at all last night, and was running to the bathroom all morning. Usually when I get this kind of illness, it only lasts 24 hours or so, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

Mazatlan (day 2)
Monday February 11…11:00pm
Malcom and Claire went on their own back to old town Mazatlan. Lee took the rest of us by local bus out to a friend who owns a horse riding stable. Ginger is another ex pat originally from Washington who has been operating

Mazatlan
Sunday February 10…11:15pm
Slept better than expected given the rolling of the ship, and the noise from the engines. Actually got out of bed to go to the bathroom at 1:30am, and was surprised to not wake up again until about 6:30am, so that’s not bad. Whiskey slept through the night as well, so that’s good, but she must be just about bursting.

Getting on the ferry to Mazatlan
Saturday February 9…11:00pm
Packed up at Tecolote and drove the 10 minutes to the ferry port at Pichilingue. It was funny because we got to the ferry terminal entrance way right at 10:00am which is when they opened, so got to drive right past all the trucks who had showed up overnight and were parked waiting to get in.

Last day at Tecolote
Friday February 8…11:00pm
Lazy kind of day today. Went for a bike ride by myself today…just 10 km or so. Ruth has started jogging again…maybe I’ll get up enough ambition to start joining her one day. I really like bike riding better though, so will make an effort to start doing more of it.
