MEMORIES OF TRAVEL IN MX

We took our first RV trip in Mexico in January of 2009 in a 1999 Fleetwood Storm.  It was 34 feet long.  We crossed the border at Pharr, TX after many scary warnings from the Americans camped in the park in McAllen. We quickly managed to get lost in Matamoros and headed down the coast to one of Mexico's newest designated beach resorts, La Pesca. Fontour (Mexican Tourism) has it in their sights.

LIFE ON THE LINE
We drove a seriously under construction road about 20 miles from the main road to the beach town of La Pesca.  A beautiful town on a beautiful beach with an amazing river meandering inland.  We parked in a hotel/RV park.  There was one other RV there.  A gentleman from an RV club scoping out the place for caravan trips.  Guess they will wait until that scary road is finished.

Where are the boats?



Too cool for the lovely pool

Ah Stormy, our Brave RV

FOND MEMORIES OF LA PESCA

We stayed there two days, plugged into a simple 110 volt plug.  It was chilly and we ventured out only to look around.  The hotel was built by Americans and sold to Mexico when no one came...sad.  La Pesca is about 200 miles from Brownsville, TX.  I read the blogs of air friends who are currently traveling South of the Border and have tinges of jealousy for the many things (cosas) in MX that are marvelous, and the many things that are frustrating.  Topes for example.  You can follow a couple of our favorite blogs written by folks who are currently traveling in Mexico.. www.travelwithkevinandruth.com   Also www.abuelolovo.blogspot.com    I know there are many others.  We also faithfully follow www.vagabonders-supreme.net    That is Goerge and Ms Tioga.  He has many followers and really loves Mexico.

WHAT WILL WE DO?

I hope Mexico travel will be in our future.  We don't know what tomorrow will bring,  do you?  More to come.  H, C, and Boo too

Dogs Vs Cats

SMART CAT

Today, I was visiting with my neighbor (who, by the way, have three small dogs and a cat living with them in their fifth wheel), when my neighbor pointed to our door and our cat, Boo Boo, was neatly opening the sliding small door that covers the latch and then, he just pushed down on the latch and opened the door for his escape. He goes outside and will not be caught, but eventually he always returns to his home to us.

OUR LIFE AS DOG OWNERS

We read so many blogs that the writers have such happy times with their dogs and their pets are just simply part of their family.  We never had such good luck with dogs.  I could write a short book on my dog experiences.  Perhaps, dogs are too smart for me or we are just bad dog parents.  We had a robbery in our house in CA years ago and we went to the pound and adopted a small (we thought yappy) poodle.  The dog never barked, but he peed on every square inch of our house.  We tried every possible way to train her and she finally shot out the door one day and never returned.

BOO BOO, THE BLACK CAT IN OUR RV

For a cat, he is pretty social.  He sleeps with us and pretty much just hangs around except for the occasional trip to the outside.  He likes to get up under the rig and hide,  likes others rigs too.  He uses his litter box without fail and travels well.  Not all cats travel well.  We took this one on a test drive to make sure he would not howl or mewl.  He just rides in his carrier and sleeps. We have a Class C Rig and he is always up on the dash when we return in our towed.  I wonder if he is 1/2 dog?

WELL, NOT ALWAYS A GENIUS

Today, I was boiling eggs in my mini kitchen and the cat loves to get up on the cabinet.  He did that in the big house.  Bad Boy, but I am a solicitious Mother.  I smelled something burning and his tail was starting to singe.  It didn't hurt him, but made a kind of black dusty mess.  Sure did smell.  Oh well, more to come,  Herb, Cindy, and Boo too
