Viva Mexico

     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.

Happy New Year everyone!!

     Today is December 26,2009.  Mike had to ask me if yesterday was Christmas Day.  It actually was Xmas Day and it was bright and sunny and Dave, Mike and I went golfing.  The par 3 golf course at Palm Creek is a par 54.  Dave got 56, Mike got 69 and I got 70.  I was very happy with my score.  I birdied the 10th and 11th holes.  I think I might even have kept the scorecard.

     I've been pretty remiss in not working on my blog, mainly because I'm just too lazy.  We got here on the 19th of December and got to know the site quite well.  They have a ball diamond here that supports quite a few softball (slowpitch) teams.  No women teams unfortunately.  Not enough interest.  There is a concession there that makes the best hamburgers around and people come in from outside just to have their burgers.

      I told you about Van and Kathie.  From Monday to now has been very nice, but cooler weather than we've had since Oregon.  Last night it froze.  The grass in the dog park was frozen.  Maybe Weaver thought he was at home.

    Today we drove from Casa Grande to Tucson.  We stayed at Beaudry RV park.  It's right behind Beaudry RV sales and service.  It was a nice park but not much to do there.  They had a fitness room and a pool but we only stayed there overnight.  Dave and Kelsi went shopping for motorhomes so we went along for the ride.  We saw some nice mohos but we knew we wouldn't get enough out of ours so we didn't even make an offer.  We went back to the moho for take out pizza and went to bed early.
