Today is Sunday, December 27, 2009. We are still in Tucson and stopped at an insurance company that opened just for us so that we could get our vehicle insurance.
We were on our way to Mexico by 10:30 am. We stopped earlier at Wal-Mart to buy some things to tide us over until we got to a large shopping centre.
We lost Dave and Kelsi on the highway before we got to Nogales so we just kept on driving. We drove through Nogales and when we were back on the highway we stopped and waited to see if they were behind us. We got tired of waiting so we headed south again and made it to the 21 km documentation centre to find them waiting there for us. They had taken Weaver with them in the car through the border. It was so nice to drive with only the rattling of the moho to distract us. We took Weaver with us again when we headed out after purchasing our visitor visas and the moho driving permit. It is good for 10 years. Don't think we'll have this moho that long, lol.
We went through 2 toll stations. It cost us 32 and 97 pesos respectively. We found a bank machine courtesy of HSBC and took out some pesos. Weaver behaved himself so well that I was able to fall asleep for a while.
The countryside is very remininscent of the Philippines except that the Philippines is much greener. We finally reached the northern outskirts of Hermosillo around 5 pm and are now sitting in the Sonora RV park. It is a very small park with only about 14 spots and as of our arrival time there were still about 5 spots available.
Mike made some supper which consisted of canned ham, spirals and canned corn. Our lettuce froze last night in the freezer section of our old non working fridge. It seems the freezer still works when it has a mind to work.
The TV works too. We've been watching a movie?soap opera? and a concert by some guy singing with a big concert orchestra supporting him.
It's going to be early to bed for this trio tonight. Talk to you all soon.
