The question we get asked "How was your trip to Mexico?" Great, really Great.
Before we left we heard many stories from many people about how unsafe Mexico is, and not to go or take a chance. We went anway, and are happy we did.
Our first trip to Mexico with our trailer and truck. We were worried as so many stories of trouble, but we had not one incident. People were friendly, services were a little different than here, but fuel was easy to get, and groceries were very easy to get. Fresh fruit and vegetables were brought to the RV park once a week, fish lady came Twice a week with fish, shrimp & lobsters, 5 gallon bottles of water was every day delivery to your trailer, propane truck came by every day, even if we didn't need any.
Our friends from Port Alberni greeted us after we got set up, Glen & Carleen Tilly, Janni & Glen Pearson. Also met Roy & Sherri Little, & Ed & Kathy Carrier all from Port. There were many people from all over BC, Canada & USA.
We had fun at 🐎 🐎 🐎 horse races for Pesos, and happy hours at many places. Meeting many others that are here for first time as well. We went to happy hours around town, and dinner at many good restaurants in San Carlos.
Our first night we went to a Greek restaurant on the beach with a band that played all Jimmy Buffet songs all night, as we had our feet in the sand, and munched on Cheese 🍔 Burgers in Paradise 😎😀😁
Beers 🍺🍺 we're good too!
Was a fun way to start our visit here.
We traveled into Guaymas, a much bigger city south of San Carlos. Walmart was our shopping this day and was a new experience as nobody spoke English, this wasn't a tourist town. We got what we needed and back to our park.
The beach was across the street from the park, but was a small inconvenience crossing and sand was nice to walk in, and Shell's were plentiful. Dolphins in the bay were a regular sight, and boats of many kinds fished with net, and rods. Also boats that cruising along showing charter's the 🐬 Dolphins as they came up in front of the boats.
We spent a day at the Pearl farm that produces black pearls, and many varried colours of different Pearl's. The tour was very informative, as we learned that pearls are not created from grains of sand which we all thought and we're told. Of course we bought one Pearl 😁
All in all we had a very good time in San Carlos and will go back again next year.
We traveled to Peurto Penasco with an additional couple Glenn & Margret Caputo a couple we met as neighbors at our RV Park, we got to know them well, they are from Trail BC. We will see them again sure. We stayed at Playa de Oro RV park on the beach, was nice to walk to the beach without crossing a road. The park was in an area that is older, and a little run down, but was in demand years ago.
Peurto Penasco was different than San Carlos, a little less organized, and more stray dogs, as well as roads that needed much repair. The Malecon was very nice, with much sales of so much collectable stuff and many restaurants.
The beaches were beautiful, and you could walk forever.
We visited Tony & Christine Parra, a couple we met at Totonaka RV park, they were staying Playa Bonita RV, this is where we would stay if we go back again. Was a better beach, and close to town. We had a good last visit with them, will see them again sure.
Our trip back through Lukeville Boarder crossing was uneventful, we had our passports checked, and we're waved through. All except Ian & Deanna, they had the dogs sniffing them so a check was in order. We waited on the edge of the road for about 15 minutes, then off we went back to Yuma.

As I write I'm shaking my head, this was so much easier that we thought, and beaches that were worth the travel. We have found new adventure in Mexico 😎🌮🌯🇲🇽
Next year we will surely go back again, with much less concern. Love this life😁
