Bucerias we like you so much we decided to stay… Until Monday

After our first night staying in the hotel we woke up early and took the doggies for a walk.  Being the good American Tourist with dogs, and not wanting to get sand all over our room, we then bathed them in the outside shower you use before getting in the pool. Unfortunately that upset the owner of the hotel, who didn’t realize that our doggies were quite as big as they are.  We negotiated with him to move out of our room and into the vacant lot next door.  A lot filled with coco palms right on the beach.  We also had exclusive access to a bathroom with two showers, a toilet, a urinal and a sink.  All together the location suited us much better than a hotel room would have as we were able to spread out and enjoy the “camping” life we wanted.

Anyone looking to camp in Bucerias should check out the Corita Hotel just north of town.  Not only do they have the site that we used they also have RV hook ups.  All and all the staff has been very accommodating and we could be happier with our situation.

 

The first two days we spent getting little errands done and taking the boards out in the mornings.  Our truck broke an arm, something that I didn’t know trucks had but apparently are very important to the steering of the vehicle (I guess its correct name is the drag arm.)

We celebrated Valentine’s day with a dinner of steak and potatoes.

 

 

 

 

Fritz met the neighbors who invited him to play a game of Botchy Ball, I don’t think he did very well as they didn’t invite him back.

The third day was spent resting on the beach, bird watching swimming and enjoying coco locos, a drink of coconut water, rum and lime which Fritz is very good at preparing. We also went into town where we were instantly recognized as the people with the stand-up paddle boards…  I guess we can never join the CIA as we seem to stand out where ever we go.  

  

 

 Basically life in Bucerias has been slow and wonderful. Today we will get everything reorganized and ready to go, so in the morning we have an easy departure for Tequila and then Guadalajara.We are still debating if this jaunt inland will take us to the pyramids of Teotihuacan or if we will swing back to the coast through Barre de Navidad.Either way it is time to get moving because if we stay any longer we may not ever leave.
