Safe travels to Los De Marcos !

Wow .. enjoying the heat here, taking a bit to adjust to it. It was very humid yesterday and clouded over but nice and sunny today ! We spent the day at La Penita market, of course ... it was Thursday !
Tomorrow I will get some photos of our RV park here in Los De Marcos, here is the website: http://www.laparotarv.com/

This is the highway once we left the main #15
We turn to San Blas here
A view of the Ocean from the Hwy #54
Another view ...
And of course the market ... we bought some fresh strawberries, pinapple and veggies ... mmm
Our journey from Huatubompito went well ... except for a couple of tight moments ... like trying to turn a corner in a mexican town plaza ! We had to get out and move a steel taco stand so we could turn ... my bad navigating ... :(   The first night our took us to La Rosario just south of Mazatlan.

Our way to Huatubompito

KM98 Vehicle Permit office, lots of parking ... as we were the only customers ! You CANNOT buy your FMM (Visitor Visa) here, that must be bought at the Border, Mexican side.

Lots of Kiosks

Huge Office !

Finally setup at La Playa ... behind is the local Police office !

Dish set up ... relax time !

Behind us ... how safe can one be !!
Beautiful Sunset last night ... and every night !!

Just wanted you to see our view from inside out motorhome ... give you some perspective on just how close we are to the beach !!
Getting up to this in the morning is really a tough job ... lol

Puerto Penasco Bike Rally

This is looking back at the Border crossing, we pulled over after passing thru the Mexican border and walked back to the Customs office and got our FMM ( Visitor Visa) before going any further down the road.

On the Malecon
Pirate Ship
It rained all night Saturday into Sunday morning ... thus leaving a lot of street flooded .. these are some of the main ones in Puerto Penasco !
Making waves behind us !!

Nine miles to the U.S. Border, and was a breeze going thru, a few questions and a quick check in the fridge for fruits/veggies and we were on our way ... first stop is Curlew, WA to get our mail and some parcels sitting at the store for us. One is an Outdoor Camp oven for Alex to cook
with !! A power surger from Camping World to keep our gadgets safe and some wire for me to keep me out of trouble !
