FEB 2, Wednesday, sunny and warm; packing, our last day in Mazatlan
Got up to a nice sunny day! Bill and Carol, the people who have been to South America stopped by to chat and say goodbye. Louise and Dave left early to meet the kids and take them to the airport. Most of the day was spent washing, packing and loading our toys and stuff. L&D got back around 2 and spent the rest of the day packing. We paid for another night @ $30. US. We had happy hour with Al & Brenda then it was time for dinner. Afterwards we had a fire then it was bed time.
FEB 3, Thursday, to Las Glorias
Yesterday we asked L&D if they would be interested to stop at a different place for a couple days; needless to say, Louise jumped on it so this is where we headed for.
We left at 9 am after saying our goodbyes to Al & Brenda and got on Hwy 15 libre. We drove to Culiacan then headed for the toll highway which we hadn’t done before. It was much better and not so expensive, we hit two tolls at 86 pesos each (approx. $7cdn). The country side was really beautiful; green field everywhere, growing tomatoes, corn and other vegetables. In Guave, we got off the toll highway, drove through town (big) and then on a country road to Las Glorias. It was a bit rough but we took our time. There is one other rig here so we can pick and choose our site. We are both parked with a fantastic view of the ocean. Unfortunately it is very windy and the wind, from the north, is very cold making it not so pleasant.
After dinner, we went over to L&D and played cards until about 10 pm then it was bedtime.

We drove 258 miles (415 Km) in 7.5 hours at an average speed of 43MPH. We were stopped for 1.5 hrs and took on fuel in Cualican
FEB 4, Friday, Las Glorias; cold and windy
It was 31*F (0*C) when I got up this morning at 7 am; just bloody incredible! Good thing it wasn’t raining or we’d be getting snow! Once the sun was up it warmed up some but the wind began again and kept things quite cool. We drove to Boca Del Rio, a small fishing village nearby and looked around and took some pictures. Louise wasn’t feeling to par so she had stayed home but once we got back, she felt better so we went to another place where some people were fishing then while driving around the village of Las Glorias, we decided to stop for a cerveza and lunch (late). It was quite windy and we didn’t really enjoy our stay there so ate and drank fast and went home. At 4 pm, Dave came over to get us for Happy Hour and we ended up under the palapa in the restaurant. We met another gringo there from Minnesota and chatted for a while with him. Again because of the cold wind we cut it short. We had stew for dinner then went over to D&L for a game of cards.
Would we come back here? Maybe earlier in the year and only for 3-4 days max. There ain’t much to do around here except lay around the beach. There is WIFI and I am using now but only because I am close to the restaurant. Louise cannot get on because they are parked across the way. I HAVE UPLOADED PICTURES TO FOLDER # 71
