MAR. 20, Thursday
A busy day. Val did the laundry and I washed the kayaks, all the windows in and out, topped up the trailer's tires and dumped the tanks. Visited with the neighbours and we went to "Charlie's Rock" with Bill & Joyce, Wendy and Robert and his wife joined us a bit later. Amazingly enough, the place was near empty so we had our choice of places although the counter around the outside was full. We had a couple drinks then came home.
After dinner, we all went out to the end of the driveway and watched the hundreds of cars and people going by...it was like a parade!!!! Oh yeah, we also bought one kilo of fish and 2 kilos of shrimps, all for $40cdn Can't beat these prices!!!!! Sunny and warm again with a bit of wind
MAR. 21, Friday,
We went cycling in the morning to town to pick up milk and beer and made a stop at "the Lot". Visited with everyone then we came home. Very busy in town and lots of traffic....bumper to bumper most of the way.
After dinner, three couples and us walked into town to see the action and action there was. People everywhere, drinking, dancing, chanting, yelling and smooching. We didn't see any fights or obnoxious behaviour. Everyone was in a festive mood. Traffic was horrendous and barely moving due to the heavy volume. We ran into the gang from the Lot handing out fluorescent tubes that one could wrapped around their neck, arms and anywhere they could hang them. Everybody was having fun. The park is also very busy with Mexican filling the hotel rooms and some camping. We have a group of bikers with very loud bikes but they are quiet at night. There are about 5 families camping near us. They are surrounding Pete and Marg. I feel for them as it can be very noisy with that group but they are taking all in stride.
MAR. 22, Saturday,
Up early and already warm by 9 a.m. Coffee and a chat with the boys to start the day. This, I think, was the hottest day yet. Hardly any wind and the sun was beating down on us. It did reach the mid 80's ( 28*C). Again, we stayed around here except for one quick jaunt into town by bike to buy some eggs. We stopped at "Froggy's" and had a pizza for lunch then came home. Already the road is very busy with traffic and lots of people on the sidewalks.
In the afternoon, 6 of us went over to "Charly's Rock" for a marguerita to cool off. Sat at the bar and watched the sea and the seagulls. Came home in time for "Happy Hour" then it was dinner. After dinner, we invited Peter and Marg over for a special tequila drink. The Mexicans around them have grown in size. More bikers have arrived and everyone is much more noisy. Even had a young kid blasting away on the horn of one of the cars and noone was stopping him. Different mentality, I guess!
The evening was very warm and we sat outside until about 10 p.m. when we went to bed.
MAR. 23, Sunday, Happy Easter!
It was a warm night. Still 70*F here in the trailer. Another hot one coming up I think.
Today, we went to the "Lot" for a visit after Craig and Cathy came over to our place, cycling in the morning. Before that though, I washed the truck, vacuumed the inside, cleaned all the windows inside and out, loaded the kayaks and the golf bags and carts. Will do the rest of the small stuff tomorrow including the bikes. Today's temperature went to the mid 80's.
We visited with Peter and Marg and had a small happy hour. Still very warm after 5 p.m. Had dinner then watched the tube for a while.
MAR. 24, Monday, our last day in San Carlos
Another hot day! We went to Guaymas this morning to buy a few items and had lunch there. Came home and packed most of the toys. We went to the "Lot" and saw everyone and made arrangement to meet for breakfast at Rosa Cantina tomorrow at 8:30. Fuelled the truck and filled the tires with air as I had deflated them some while here. (25 litres @ 5.99 pesos). Came home again and tried calling Hayley for her birthday but the line was busy. We left a message that we would try again later. Had a quick happy hour with the gang here in the park then had dinner. Wayne and his wife came over to say goodbye and visited for a while.
We finally connected via Skype with Hayley and talked to Rochelle but we got cut off. It is very frustrating not to be able to depend on a steady connection. We will try them again once in the States.
Tomorrow, we head north to the U.S. of A.
