18* @ 7 am; 22*C down to 15* by 4 pm, windy and rain
That
was quite a storm we had last night! It
destroyed the gazebo across the street (I went to help her) and sometime
overnight, the tide came in and undermine the sea wall and it all collapse. The amazing thing is that no one was hurt as
people were staying by the wall but sometime late in the evening, the security
guy told them to move. Almost half the
wall is gone; that is incredible! A good
half of the park is without water and power; we have power but no water. Everything is covered in a fine sand/dust, so
much for the washing yesterday! I spent
an hour dusting everything then we went into town to watch the “Mardi Gras”
parade put on by the RVer’s in the park.
I think it was a success as there were lots of kids collecting the
candies being thrown from the quads, cars and trucks which were all
decorated. There had to be at least 25
of them in the parade and some were all dressed up and walking. I took a few pictures and posted them. We stopped for a beer and wings at “ALEX”, a
local bar catered by the Park gringos.
The
tide is up again and there are waves braking over the wall again. I filled the water tank with fresh water as
we now have water again and updated my GPS; hopefully that will resolve the
issues I had coming in.
Well,
we are getting quite the mixture in weather system. We had a downpour that lasted about half hour
then stopped just as quickly as it started; now it is windy and the sky is
clear and full of stars. Watching the
news, California is getting more than its share of rain and lots of mud slides
but so far, we are OK.
14*C @ 8 am; 21*C in pm
Yes,
I slept in until 8 this morning and it sure felt great! Loud music from the beach next door is what
woke me up! It was quite windy again
overnight but it is calm this morning. The
sky is blue and the sun is shining but still lots of clouds around. One of our neighbour is leaving early as they
are not too happy about this area; their first time in Mexico and not a good
place to get a positive impression of Mexico!
We
had a discussion this morning and both agreed that we would leave earlier than
planned! We have set Wednesday March 5 (my birthday!) as
our return date to Yuma, AZ, so now I have to make reservations for Winterhaven
and make arrangements to have our slide locking system repaired and the rubber
seals replaced.
We
spent the day relaxing, as if we need it, and read our books. The temperature is a bit cooler than usual
but the wind has finally abated. In the
evening, we watched the Academy Awards.
