Mexico 2025 - Day 13

March 21: Guerrero Negro to Bahia de los Angeles, Sea of Cortez: Alarm was set for 5:30 am so we could be ready by 8 am for our travel meeting and departure from Guerrero Negro. We were packed like sardines in this RV park and we suffered through 2 nights of no electricity due to blown electrical outlets on a very old and fragile system. It was finally restored yesterday. We headed out as soon as we could because we needed to fuel up. After gathering at the predestined spot, we all headed out on the rough narrow roads again. Unfortunately when we stopped for our lunch break, one of our caravaners discovered a bolt in the sidewall of one of his 5th Wheel trail wheels and he had used his spare already. True to caravaning style, everyone got together and made sure this traveler would get back on the road. The roads were narrow and full of potholes also, but I'm glad to say we all arrived at the beach camping spot in tact and without damage. I, on the other hand, didn't fair so well. I overheated in the RV (on the first leg of our journey, we discovered the RV AC didn't work). We had a buffet dinner across the street, which I couldn't eat. I wasn't feel well. Well, by the time the dinner was nearly over, I suddenly felt very nauseous and threw up all over the table. It was really embarrassing to say the least, and the traveler next to us in the park was kind enough to get his truck and drive me back to the RV. We had walked over. Alan and I had a quiet rest of the evening.

    OK sis, I was able to read the rest of it and I'm so sorry that you got sick at the restaurant. What a bummer. Glad you're better now, love from us

Mexico 2025 - Day 17

March 25: Today we boarded a bus for a morning of tourist shopping and lunch in Ensenada. The tour guide took us on a tour of Ensenada with a stop at the Cultural/Convention Center. ( Built in 1930, it was a hotel and casino until 1935, visited by renowned Hollywood and Mexican artists during the ban in the United States, such as Rita Hayworth, Dolores del Río, Lucille Ball, Bing Crosby, among others. After 40 years of abandonment, once again you can enjoy its Moorish architecture, serving as inspiration to dozens of young people who take classes in painting, drawing, sculpture, dance, ballet, theater and literature. ) At the bar, we learned about the history of the drink "Margarita" or at least one version of its origins. The bar has the photograph of Sra. Margaret King. This report claims that she wanted a cocktail that was different from others. The bartender apparently prepared a drink for her and afterwards named it after her. There is also a plaque on a wall in tile des...

Mexico 2025 - Day 5

March 13: Today was an interesting one. We woke to the sound of rain, not the light misty stuff. Enough to cause little rivers across the roads in the campground. Protreto Campground is beautiful. It offers RV spots with 50 amp power and water at the sites, with a dump station. It was the first day we traveled as a caravan. The wagonmasters lead and the tailgunners were the last rig. We left at 9 am. The border crossing was slow mostly because of the large number of RVs (all 22 of us) in line and the border agents were entering the RVs while asking questions about what we were bringing into Mexico. Our "kids" behaved during the questioning and Lucky decided to hide behind the couch the rest of the journey. At about the halfway point, we had to turn around and pick another road because a telephone pole had fallen across the (4 lane) highway in the direction we were traveling. The road we took was narrow with many potholes but very scenic. We fueled up just before heading to Cl...

Mexico 2025 - Day 11

March 19: Guerrero Negro: Today was an early morning rise again - 5:30 am alarm. We were a go for whale watching. The winds were low. We were taken by bus at 8 am to the harbor where we boarded four boats holding 12 people. Guerrero Negro is famous for its salt mine.   Below is an accurate description of the sale making process at the Guerrero Negro sale making factory. "The salt-making process is fairly simple. Seawater is pumped into a series of collection ponds. About 700 million tons of seawater enters the system each year. As the water in the ponds evaporates, the salt concentration increases. The collection ponds are controlled by dikes and gates. At a critical level of salt concentration, the water is pumped into the next point, and so on. Eventually, more than a year later, the water becomes saturated with salt, and the mineral salt (almost entirely sodium chloride) begins to crystallize out. The pond is then drained and the salt collected. The harvesting of the salt i...
