a day of rest jan. 6.


Well here we are last night eating our dinner in the Palapa at a restaurant without windows on the beach, here in San Carlos.
Today we did laundry, but at 1.50 a load the dryer was not an option and we went to Algodones beach (BIG SANDY) and let the wind do a good job. Everything was dry within 2 hours. The kids ran around, playing in the water a bit, but it was cold, and we ate lunch - fresh made salsa and guacamole and chips - and relaxed. Then we visited Guaymas and a grocery store. Very interesting in spanish. We definitely need more practice with the language. We are consulting the phrase book all the time.
Then back to the same campground as last night, after checking out another one which didn't seem as friendly. After all, there's all these canadians here!
Around dinner we consulted the map and the Church's book "Mexican Camping" to figure out our next move. We all agree not to drive toooooooo long. But what is too long? If you leave at 8, drive 4 hours you can be at the next camping at noon and have lots of time to look around the area and set up camp. But who wants to get up and go at 8? We're just having coffee at that time usually. Ryan is usually still all sausaged up in his sleepingbag! So, wait and see. We'll decide tomorrow. Our neigbour here from Edmonton, in his 40+ foot bus, with trailer, has driven down to Mazatlan and says there are very good roads there, better than what we drove yesterday. No problem driving down south.
Decisions, decisions.
