After a week in Cabo it was time to head back to La Paz to catch our ferry. The ferry terminal is actually 10 miles east of La Paz and is called Pichelinge. Only a 5 min. drive from there is an awesome beach called Tecalote where we decided to spend the night before catching the ferry. We wanted to be close to the ferry and one the water, so it was perfect.... well almost. We got the RV stuck in the sand and we quite a process to get out! Finally, we had to find someone with a big enough to pull us out. At least we made the ferry.
Now, the ferry was quite an experience! From the beginning we didn't know what they would have us do with Gideon, so that made us a bit uneasy. Actuall getting on the ferry was easy but no one was able to tell us what would happen to our dog. Turns out the there was a kennel on the ship where he had to spend the night. It was really just a few metal cages and we very sad to leave him there alone. Matt and I slept in a passenger room which was a large room full of seats, like you might find on an airplane. We tried our best to get some sleep but it was no easy taks! Until early in the morning, really bad movies were playing (in spanish, of corse) and the lights were on all night! It was a reliefe when morning came and we could go to Gideon and get off the ship.
Poor Gideon had the hardest night of his life that night! He must have tried get escape his cage because his paws are all cut up now and he has a hard time walking:( He has been asleep for about 24 hours as well. He's a tough Weimariner though! Needless to say, we are all thankful to have made it to Mazatlan safely!
