I see it's 30 degrees at home now, must feel like a heat wave. Not rubbing it in, just giving information - it's 73 here now at 7:30pm. It does get HOT here in the day! One needs shade or a lot of wind to stay comfortable. The ocean front sites are to die for! Constant breeze all day long making even the hottest time of the day comfortable to be outside. Some people book the ocean front spaces for 5 or more years in advance. They are almost impossible to get unless a history of coming here has been established. We are OK where we are at, but the angle of the sun during the day makes shade hard to find even with the awning out. But inside the motor home or outside in shade it's comfortable with the constant breeze. We have an "end" spot in the third row so even though not on the water we do look out to the ocean, a benefit most other sites do not have in rows 2, 3, and 4.
We walked the area today during the hottest time of the day and suffered a little for doing so. Best time is before 10:00am or after 4:00pm. It's just too hot in the sun if not on the beach.
But we wanted to find where the water taxi departs the island for downtown Mazatlan. Going over Monday morning to meet an "online friend" who lives in Mazatlan. She is known as "Mazatlan Lee". She has a great web site http://www.skping.com/ if you want to explore the city online. I brought her a few items from the US she can't get in Mexico so she is meeting us at the taxi dock to get them. In return she is going to help us get our prescriptions filled, show us how the bus system works so we can get around without having to drive, and provide any other help or information we want or need.
We drove into the little village here - Isla de la Piedra - this afternoon to buy necessities (tequila, cerveza, and ice) and it was an eye opening experience to see what the "normal" living conditions are here for the locals. Very interesting and educational! I'll post some pictures on Sunday.
Our next door neighbors for the two nights we have been here are leaving in the morning after a two month stay. Big bonfire on the beach at 8:00pm for a going away party. Time to go.
Tomorrow - Super Bowl Party.

We have arrived at our destination! Safe and sound. No military, no banditos, no policia, no nothing but our American dollars to get us where we were going. Tolls and permits are expensive, food and services are cheap! Cost to have RV washed after 8 miles of dirt road - 250 pesos! 14 pesos to the dollar right now so you do the math. OK, I'll do it for you - $20.00 US. It's cheap. In New Mexico at the Hacienda RV park, a very nice place at $42.00 per night, they did not allow RV washing by RV owners, but allowed a service to do it for $120.00! Just as a comparison, we are paying $450.00 for 30 days here, or $15.00 per night.
Short drive to Mazatlan from Celestino, long drive to Stone Island RV.
The road in from South of the city at the airport entrance is an 8.2 mile bumpy gravel road that takes time to negotiate. It's not bad, just can not go faster than 7-8 mph. It took us one hour to traverse the 8.2 mile stretch.
Too soon to comment on the facilities seriously. Not quite what we expected, but probably better than being in the city itself. It's quiet here. We expected that and that is what we wanted. But it's too quiet! Things, as in restaurants and bars, are closing at 6:00pm - no business this year. "It's the economy, stupid"! Actually, those who are experienced here, say it's just a quieter way of life here on the island and it's normal to close up early. The night life, better restaurants, and just about everything else are across the harbor in Mazatlan itself.
We will withhold judgment until we have time to check out the area and take the water taxi into the city.
We are here. We made it safely. Mission accomplished! What we do from here on is subject to change. Never have we been able to stay put in one place too long and this may not be any different. Nice people, nice beach, decent RV park. But for one month - ??????. I don't know if I can sit that long here.
Patty P, don't worry! Even if not in this park we will be close by.
Some pictures available, but I'm too tired to post them.
More tomorrow.
Buenos Noches!

It's Friday morning and I just wanted to be sure that anyone looking at the blog yesterday before the pictures were posted will go back to see them.
We are packing up for the last 2 hour drive into Mazatlan. More when we arrive.
Two more pictures on the camera from yesterday afternoon
Thursdays sunset
The tiny city of Celestino has a new motel with a little outdoor restaurant. We were told it was worth the trip so we stopped by around 3:00pm to look at the menu on our way to look for ice.
It was extremely clean and although we could not figure out what all the items on the menu were we knew it was seafood and fish. We went back around 3:30 for a late lunch/ early dinner. Due to the communication problem we ended up with a lot of food. But it was great and we ate it all. The salsa verde was outstanding. I had the camera to take pictures of the food but when our server brought it to the table we forgot about pictures and "dove in". Look how clean the floor and the furniture is. No alcohol served here so they told us to bring our own. We carried in a 6-pack of Corona on ice in a plastic bag. Total cost $170 pesos or about $12.00 US. We can't afford not to eat out!

Buenos Dias,
We made it!
We left Hautabompito (El Mirador RV park) at 7:15am yesterday. It was de nada (no problem) getting to our next stop, Celestino RV, 45 miles north of Mazatlan. We arrived at 3:00pm. It being 5:00pm at home we had a beer!
So a 7 hour drive and 350 miles. For Mexico that is quite a "poke", but the roads were very good and not crowded. Several towns to negotiate but we managed to stay on course and not get lost. Looking back, had Saturday not been such a miserable driving experience, the entire trip has been pretty good.
I do have an internet connection here in the motor home, but it's not very dependable. I'm "robbing" it from some one not in this park by using a wi-fi signal amplifier. I think it's the RV park just down the road from here - I can see their antenna sticking up from the roof. It's a new park, but only has two rigs currently there. This RV park (Celestino) has wi-fi available only at the office and I have not tried it out yet. I can't post any pictures from this stray signal, but I will try later when I walk up to the office with my computer to see if it's faster.
It's great to finally be here. The park is long and narrow. Probably 100 ft. wide and it looks like there is another 100 ft. available for future expansion. There is a drive all the way to the ocean with RV sites along one side. Full hook-up's of water, electric, and sewer. The daily cost of all this extravagance and ocean front camping - $12.00 per night. We are about the fifth site from the water, but I am sitting here at the table typing and can see and hear the water. The only obstruction is a few palm trees. Beautiful!
Technically we are still on the Sea of Cortez, but it's ocean to me. Big, loud waves!
We plan on driving into the little town down the road (dirt of course) just to see it. And we want to at least have a look at the three other RV parks in this area. And, it's said there is a little restaurant with great food.
The routine here is to gather late afternoon at the patio on the beach for sunset cocktails and conversation. Dogs, of course, are welcome everywhere and as usual no one remembers our names but the girls are the life of the party. We are the couple with Gracie and Isabelle.
Everyone is very friendly and several of the other people currently here we have seen at our other stops along the way. Most, like us, working their way to Mazatlan or just a little more south to Teacapan.
A cool night last night and about 61 at dawn today. I know, what am I complaining about. But when the dress of the day is sandals, shorts, and t-shirt - 60 is cold.
Tomorrow we are making the short drive to our destination in Mazatlan. Arriving two days early but they have room for us. No one is full this year! The economy has hit them hard too. This park is about 1/2 full. The park next door has two rigs ( now four at day's end). A new one opened two weeks ago just north of here and has no one in it yet. A fourth one has about 15 sites and is reported to be full, but it has a few more amenities and organized activities. Our spot is the oldest of them all, maybe 5 or 6 years, and therefor the landscaping is more mature and offers a little more in the way of shade. More people simply know about it and return. The new ones will certainly increase in popularity as time goes on and RV'ers look to try something new.
Look back on this post later in the day or night for pictures.
Well, here they are. I put my wi-fi amplifier on top of Blue Boy and the signal was improved significantly.

Buenos Diaz!
It's 6:00am Wednesday morning and we are almost set to pull out. Just waiting for daylight before getting on the road to the next "adventure". Today we want to travel 325 miles to Celestino, 45 miles north of Mazatalan. Celestinorvresort.com Even on the Mexican "toll road" it's a 7 or 8 hour drive. The toll is about $12.50 US each toll booth. It has nothing to do with miles traveled, just where ever they put a booth you pay the toll. As first timers it's well worth the money (if we can just follow the signs to get on the toll road - we didn't do too good Saturday) because the road is all 4-lane, in pretty good shape, and you get free road service if you break down by the "Green Angels" who patrol the toll road. They actually do this because down here there are no highway "shoulders" to pull over to if you have trouble. You must usually just stop in the road. The dropoff just off the road surface is 6-12 inches and steeply sloped. So they want to do whatever they can to quickly get you up and running again or towed away. But they are supposedly decent mechanics and carry basic repair supplies and can get most problems solved on the spot. Hope we never have to test the system!
It's cool this morning as it was cloudy and very windy most of yesterday, but the stars are out so the sky is clear and it should be a beautiful day today.
Clouds knock out the parks internet signal so we had no internet yesterday. This morning it's back on so we both are sitting here - online - drinking coffee (with Baileys, of course) trying to get in a little work before leaving. In Mexico you take advantage of anything you can get because you never know when what you currently have will be unavailable - water, electricity, cell phone service, internet, etc.
It's time to get going and pack things up. We should have internet at our next stop but ??????
Pictures of Celestino hopefully tonight or tomorrow morning.

Yesterday was very festive around here. Many locals come to the beach, especially on weekends to run their cars, atv's, tractors, motorcycles, and whatever they have on the beach. Many of them stop at the outdoor bar here at the RV park for drinks and/or food. A live band playing Mexican music (of course - duh!) entertained most of the afternoon.
I think today and tomorrow will be relatively quiet now that the weekend is over.
It's 69 this morning at 7:00 am. I just looked online at the Elkhart Truth web site as I do every morning and see the current temperature is -7. When is the cold wave going to end?
It's pretty nice here where we are, but we keep hearing how much nicer it gets the further South we travel. Now that we have had a couple of nights to relax we are getting antsy to move on. We paid for four nights here, but don't be surprised if we leave early tomorrow morning. The next stop is 45 miles north of Mazatlan - a drive of about 325 miles. On Mexican roads that will be a long drive. The speed limit even on the 4-lane toll road is only 100 kph or 62 mph! The area we want to reach is Celestino Gasca, or just Celestino as it is referred to. Currently there are four RV parks that are all on the Ocean (two open for a few years, one since November, and one just last week has opened its gates. And we understand two more are in the planning stages. Some say that as the real estate in Mazatlan continues to increase in value more and more of the RV parks there will sell out to developers as many already have. Making Celestino the new RV'ers destination of choice.
So we want to spend a night or two there just to take a look at them and the surrounding area for possible future travel. Plus that will make the next drive to our final destination, Tres Amigos, a short two hour trip. So we hope!
Since I wrote the above we traveled into town for Pesos at the ATM and to Ley's (Safeway) supermarket for supplies.
Dinner tonight was crab tostadas, fish tacos, marlin stuffed chillies rellenos, and guacamole delivered to the RV from the restaurant. $24.00 US plus tip. Why cook?
The following is from an email I sent to Brother Tim with detail about our trying time Saturday getting here. It kind of wraps things up.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
This whole thing is a learning experience. So far, mostly very good. Our problems on what was actually our third day in MX was trying to follow directions in Spanish and we can't! Road signs, that is. We have a turn by turn map to follow but when you are in heavy traffic going through a big city even a good map can be of little use when you can't read the fucking signs! We followed our instincts, and not the map leaving San Carlos and that started our problems. Went through Guaymas on the free road and not the toll road. It saved me a few bucks but we had to negotiate our way through the city. Finally got back to the toll road and in the next big city, Obregon, our map said turn at a road by the name of Sinaola. We never saw that name so we missed the turn to stay on the toll road. So instead of bypassing the big city we went right through it. All roads lead south, but cities are to be avoided. Again, we eventually found our way back to the toll road, but a lot of stress. Well we were doing just fine, finally, and the RV park we are at now gave us a short cut to reach them to bypass the city of Navojoa. We had heard about construction in the area and called weeks ago to verify the proper way in. They told us no construction! Take the shortcut! Others told us not to but we believed the RV park owners. We hit a detour and could not understand the signs. Traffic behind us and no where to pull over. Had to make a choice. Don't know if it was right or wrong, but we went through a lot of narrow and crowded streets not knowing where we were going. Found a sign that pointed us where we wanted to go and it put us in a construction zone with the street taped off. I can't back up so I just went on through because I could see a road on the other side but the going, I could see, was going to be rough. It WAS! But I got through. Damaged my step to the motor home but I was able to hammer it back into operation. Knew we had to travel West and South so just made turns following those directions. The GPS does not work down here, but it does show me a compass heading. Anyway, we finally got back on the road we needed to be on and were back on track. But what a fucking anxiety trip!
We are on the beach, great views, great people, great food served here, and a nice little town about 20 miles inland for groceries and cash from the ATM. Plus the way south from here is a straight shot out of town. We were going to leave in the morning, but when the fellow campers found we were leaving early they begged us to stay and promised to show us a little more of the area. We gave in and will stay the fourth night. Only planned on two, but we are in no hurry.
