Monday November 24 In english that means the Emerald Coast. We actually arrived Sunday afternoon after an uneventful drive from Cerro Azul. There are about a dozen RV parks on about a 10 or 12 mile stretch of beach. We have chosen Hotel Posada Del Zorro, a drop dead gorgeous park with 15 amp eectricity…

El Lodo II
El Lodo II Sunday Nov 23 It’s about 8 am, the sun is shining, the sky is blue. The coach has not miracuously risen above the mud overnight, maybe the opposite. We discuss our “situation.” We agree we will be lucky if we get on the road today, we mentally prepare for a long stay….
El Lodo
Saturday November 22 We are now just a few hours from Costa Esmeralda (The Emerald Coast). The books say it’s miles and miles of beautiful beach, lots of RV parks and hopefully some other RV’ers. We think we will spend a week there. At about 8:00 I go to move the motorhome. We are stuck….
More Guts Than Brains?

Quite a contrast to the hours we spent getting nowhere on Monday. Our next challenge is to leave the…
Here We Go
This morning we cross the border into Mexico. We will be leaning on the door when “Migracion” opens and we look to be in Cuidad Victoria (see-OOH-Dawd Veek-Tor-Ree-Ah) this afternoon. We are excited! We have a spot reserved in an RV park just south of Play Del Carmen for mid December, so we will poke down…
Party Animals
Marilyn whipped up these Bandannnas for the Lord and Lady of the house. We’ve been packing this fabric since somewhere in Kentucky, today in less than 10 minutes she sewed them up. You think she gets at least some of her many talents from me? I think not!
Brownsville, Texas
We need to cool things down a bit. some of you got a little too excited yesterday, I worry about your hearts too you know. I did get a feeling of deep understanding in some of the responses though. Obviously I’m not alone with jack problems. Who knew that cars, boats, even bicycles have jacks?…
