MAR. 1, Saturday,
We were up and on the road by 9:15 again. There was a lot of loud music last night whcih woke me up a couple of times. We headed south through the town of Magdelena, which is very pretty by the way, and connected with Hwy 15D then headed south to San Carlos. The highway to Hermisillo was very rough and full of potholes. It was a slow drive trying to avoid them and not getting off the road but we made it. The road through town is now finished so it was easy getting around Hermisillo. From there it was pretty uneventful except for a truck turned on its side and spilled oil about 80 km north of San Carlos. We had to drive through it so it was "dead slow", if you know what I mean!! Didn't get any oil on the truck or rig, thank goodness for that. Took on fuel just north of Guaymas 80Litres
Finally arrived in San Carlos and parked at Totonaka RV Park in number 115, beside Terry and Glenda and just behind Rick and Pat. They were out when we arrived so unpacked and set-up. Paid 4750 pesos (approx 470 cdn$). It's like home coming! Everything is so familiar. The group finally arrived and we had a very nice get-together and caught up to all the news. We went into town to get some cash and drinking water then stopped at "the lot" to deliver their goodies. A very nice place and they have done a lot of work to it already. Had happy hour with them then went out for a pizza. Home by 9:30 p.m. and to bed soon after.

MAR 2, Sunday
It was a warm day. Finished setting up then just sat around and chatted witht he gang. Met some of our neighbours. The "lot" had a potluck for all of us so we went over and had a great time with everyone. Played some bocci but once the sun was down, it cooled off pretty fast so everyone left. It was too windy for a fire.
MAR. 3, Monday
Made a call about the airbags to see if I could get them repair here but no luck, Can only get this done in Tucson or Phoenix so got some phone numbers and will call late rto make an appointment for when we go back.
Went to "Rico" for a hot dog the we went for a game of golf with the March's and the Tate's Cathy joined us for the girls formed a foursome and us boys, a threesome.
Came home for happy hour
MAR. 4, Tuesday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, VAL!!!!
Yes, she is the "old lady" again for another day! She went into town with the girls shopping and Terry and I took a drive to Guaymas to check on a garage for possibilities. Went golfing again later in the day and that was a mistake as my knee acted up and it was a horrible game, scorewise.
We went out for dinner at Hotel Fiesta where we had "Chateau Briand" at a very reasonnable price and it was delicious. Terry, Glenda, Pat and Rick also came out to celebbrate with us.
MAR. 5, Wednesday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!
Yes, I've now got up to Val so can't call her the "old lady" anymore. A quiet day spent at home. Rick was sick, the girls went shopping and Terry and I went to a little restaurant near "Catch 22" beach and had a great lunch.
Came home and the girls arrived back around 3 p.m. Had happy hour then Val cooked shrimp that we bought yesterday, and a salad.
