Puerto Penasco to San Carlos

We left Puerto Penasco at about 8 AM on Tueday. It was a long driving day, 8 hrs but all was well. We went through a few military checkpoints and saw a good number of military presence on the highways. We were happy for that. There were no problems.

Gosh, who knew sunrise could be so pretty! (ha ha)
Puerto Penasco

Doug always looks cooler driving than I do...

...but drive I did do!

Quite a few hours of this....

We arrived at Totonaka RV Park in San Carlos at about 4 PM on Tuesday. We have been here plenty of times before but I don't think we have ever found it to be this full. It is nice to see for sure. the internet still isn't good so we are sitting in the club house. I'm sure it is hard to manage with so many people here. We also noticed how many people have StarLink. Elon Musk would be so proud!



But then this made it worthwhile!
Right across the street from the RV park.

Jan 12th: Well, first things first....HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our beautiful daughter-in-law, Kathy. Sorry we aren't there to celebreate with you but we are sure you have had an amazing day! Love you!!

Anyway, today we just slept in (surprise...) Well, at least until 8:15 when the first Pickleballer showed up next door. they are a very competitive bunch but there were no arguments or issues (bit disappointed I must admit). 

First though, coffee......

Funny little "look-out" from the front of the property.


Dolphins jumping in the bay!

Went for a long walk down the main drag and enjoyed some local tacos. Loved it!


Saw quite a few of these hearts that are used for 
recycling the plastic bottle caps. Pretty cool idea. 

Small taco vendor. Great tacos and Doug finally 
felt like he was back in Mexico!





So that wraps up day two in San Carlos. Glad we were able to get out and walk 5.2 kms. After spending so much time in the van driving it was so good to be able to get in some excercise. Tomorrow we plan to explore the town a little and maybe buzz over to Guaymas. About 10 kms away.

Plan is we will stay here until Saturday morning when we will high-ball it to Mazatlan. 

That's it for today.

Peace out friends!

Thought for the Day: I, myself, am made up entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions.

  2. This is always a nice first stop in Mexico. We always enjoyed walking to the waterfront restaurant across the street and enjoying a cold beer and lunch or dinner in the open air dining room!

  3. Thanks for taking all of us along as you run away to sunny Mexico. Especially since we have a blizzard here today.
