Ryan and Jo-Ann are "ex-cruisers" who decided to get off a boat and on to land. With a 27 foot RV and a 1978 Jeep CJ5. The RV Adventure that only happens in books. From Mazatlan, Mexico to...???, we hope to see and experience what only a few people have ever seen or done.
Not Sure where to put this but this is the volcano in Colima
Well, we are finally on the road again for the 2009/2010 season. Sort of. As most of you know we are really full timers in the Budhha so our season really is year round. Jo-Ann had to spend 6 months at home in Canada for various reasons while I stayed behind to watch things, fix things and make a few bucks for this year’s adventure.
On November 11th we said our goodbyes to Barb and Sal at Hacienda Contreras in Valle de Juarez, Jalisco, Mexico. Was such a great time, even with a few issues. If we ever come back north we will for sure make the stop there again.
So anyway, we left and made our first destination Guanajuato. This Big Little colonial city stuck up high in the mountains in a valley full of tunnels, narrow streets and alleys was a great first stop. We got to see the Museo de las Momias (Mummy Museum) where these bodies still have hair and flesh on them that was um.. pretty creepy. It was cool as the same time. The town itself was a very unique display of how a Unesco World Heritage city kept things from getting too touristy. The main roads seem to be almost entirely underground.
We stayed in a simple field where we had electric and water but really don’t need them as we are 100% solar now except if we need to run the microwave. And heck, we carry enough water for a week. But like most RV parks they do not offer a boon docking rate which is really too bad.
We stayed for two nights.
