Since touching down on the mainland, it feels like we haven't covered much ground. Especially these last couple of days. After leaving San Blas we only traveled about 45 miles to our next stop. It did however still take us two hours.
We decided to stop at Ricon de Guayabitos. We are not sure why, but we are trying to see as much as we can. I am glad we stopped, I have never witnessed anything like it. It was a Mexican resort town, but it was targeted for Mexicans rather than Gringos. In my ignorance the thought never existed. A beautiful beach, banana boat rides, street vendors, fresh fruit stands, and even a booze cruise. To boot, it was are most expensive night of camping. We are defiantely experiencing it all.
Yesterday we headed for Puerto Vallarta, just another 45 miles. This time nearly three hours. You can't imagine slower traffic or worse roads. P.V. was great. We had a great camping spot almost downtown. I think it was our nicest campsite. It had grass, trees, patios and not a single other person in the entire park. Gideon really loved the freedom. The owner said they don't get much traffic other than about twice a year when RV caravans (about 50 rigs) come through and stay for a month or two. A walk to the melachon, a nice meal, a bucket of beers, and still looking young enough for everyone to call to us by yelling, "hey honeymooners". A nice evening.
After back tracking a bit, we made it Guadalajara. A huge city with apparently relentless rain. Hopefully tomorrow it is decent enough for us to see all this historic city has to offer.
