This is where Ramona is staying for a couple of days, on the last photo if you look real hard through the bush you can see her.

 
 
 
 

This is my post for yesterday the 6th…..No Internet tonight so will post when I can…only drove just over 100 kms today on a very windy, tight and mountainous road. Stopped at a place called El Faro for lunch, what a most spectacular beach, very tranquil and beautiful.

Saw a sign for Rv park just off the highway on the beach it was 2.30pm and I figured a good a place as any to stay. Not really a park just a small compound, very clean and I am 50 feet from the ocean, the cost 120 pesos. There are 4 other rigs here and spent the rest of the afternoon walking the almost deserted beach and swimming, checking out the lovely sunset and a quiet evening planning some routes and then later on watching a movie. It is a very peaceful place and the ocean swells are music to my ears.

I want to go to Zihuatanejo tomorrow but have been told by other travellers that all the parks are full but I am sure when they see Ramona a spot will open up, if not plan B, which I haven’t formulated yet.

I met a nice couple here from Texas who have just done the journey I am on but from the other way and we sat for over 1 hour and they gave me some great tips. The people in all the parks I have met have been super kind and always offering routes and advice.

The days seem to go by so fast and already a week of February gone. Well another day in paradise, blessings..

 
 
 
 
Not a bad place to spend the night eh??

Up at 7.30am and the owners here have this great dog and we went down to the beach and walked about 4 miles, he loved it he chased imaginary birds and played in the surf and we saw no one.

Have to decided to slow down some more was going to be a long day of driving today but now realize I have lots of time so going to take my time. One thing I have realized is that whilst driving and I see something and think should I stop or not and when I don't it is usually a mistake so now going to stop every time.

Got Ramona ship shape and just packing up and heading on down the road will probalby stay on the road somewhere tonight, will post again when I can, have a great day......Pura Vida

Trying to let you know where I am tonight on the map of the west coast I am about half way between Manzanillo and Lazaro Cardenas in a tiny little town La Placita. The Rv Park is about 1 mile out of town at the end of a small dirt road and the beach. This is a new park and there are about 12 rigs here, the location is incredible. All the photos are taken at the park. I was the only person on the beach which runs about 8 miles long. The sunset was lovely and I am enjoying my evening after a drive of about 4 hours from Barra.
Ramona had her oil change but a little mishap getting her up on the ramp, lost the pvc pipe with the hose again. This time I just put the pipe inside, had the oil change and came down to the park. Now the frustrating part..I knew from when I lost the pipe before that I had plenty of the long plastic straps to hold it back in place and in Barra I had everything out of my storage bins and sorted things out again, the problem was I couldn't remember where I put the straps. Ramona is only 24 feet long and there are only so many places to store things but I turned her upside down and could not find the straps. I looked everywhere, had everything out then put them all back in still no straps, so pulled everything out again with the same result. So I resorted to tying the pvc pipe back on with rope and it is safe again. Later on in the evening I was looking for a can of soup for dinner and knew I had some stored in like a secret compartment underneath the entry step and as I am opening this compartment I said to myself this is the only place I didn't look for the straps and of course you know where the straps were!!!!!!

Spent some time cleaning and sorting and moving things around again, had a great hot shower and now listening to the hockey game on the computer with a lovely breeze coming in through the window and I can hear the surf.

Hope to be in a small beach town Zihuatanejo tomorrow evening, blessings to all.
