Across the Mexico Border
This is a top pick! ... used to over the last few months, but we slept pretty well regardless. The following morning we weren't particularly sorry to leave Guaymas, which seems to be a fairly charmless town, as we took a bus further south to Navajoa. Three and a half hours ...
Celestino and Guaymas
... the way up to the border, so we decided to push on through without much more delay. We did want to buy some shrimp at Guaymas, the shrimp center on the west coast, so we did. Luckily, there were vendors conveniently located on the outskirts of town so we ...
LA to San Carlos
Drove across the deserts of Arizona on our way to Mexico. Not to much to write about yesterday. Stopped for a shower and lunch at El Dorado Hot Springs just outside of Buckeye. To our surprise we had stumbled across what appeared to be ...
Mexico- Should we go or should we stay? GO

Livin' la Vida Loca

More north
Here, in amongst the big rigs, in a real trailer park, it seems a bit surreal. We're so small and frail in our little van, and all these giant 5th wheel things and mohomes surround us like a wolfpack cornering a rabbit. A bit intimidating, but apparently ...
Relaxing day in San Carlos
RnCRnR in San Carlos It's not too often a hot shower is the highlight of your day, but after spending 50 of 55 hours in a vehicle, all be it with the most beautiful women in the world, a hot shower really feels nice. We had a couple walks on the beach ...
First day of 2012
... Anyways it was a pretty uneventfull 6 hour drive from the border down to Guyamas, well actually San Carlos, just 10 km from Guaymas. ... Cathie wants to mention that this is the first time she has not been stopped about 40 km after crossing the border by ...
Guaymas
On the overnight 20hr bus journey from Guadalajara there was a really odd couple next to us, an old guy (non Mexican - maybe American) with a very young (Mexican) girlfriend who didn´t seem to be to enamoured with him - v. suspicious! At one point I ...
Guaymas, Sonora

Guaymas,in the boatyard
After leaving Escondido,they sailed up the coast 30nm,then 'turned right' and crossed the Sea of Cortez,for 70nm to Guaymas.The crossing was a little rough and typically choppy for this time of year. Tony is returning to the UK this weekend.Ahhhh! Tony ...

Farewell Party
... . The driver chatted with a friend on the other side (US) and was reprimanded.I think he wanted to show us how difficult thier life is. On the frontline. I always shed a tear at the 'frontera'. Mexico has a big heart and a generous soul. Muchas gracias. ...

safe arrival in San Carlos via Air Anderson

feels like home ...
... and moon reflected in the sea,with mist all around was quite surreal and spooky. As we arrived at Cabo Harco,off Guaymas the seas as usual kicked up,due to the 'Cape Effect, then huge clouds descended on the mountains and appeared to swallow them ...
boatyard to pontoon
... garlic prawns and our friends (Joel and Dave from s/y Alobar) had Enchiladas.It was fantastic.The prawns are the freshest as Guaymas is a fishing town and mainly for the prawns,sadly,their are few left and the fishermen have to go further to catch them. ...
