Hi everyone.  Here is our notes for the blog which Frank will figure out how to put onto.  We spent our few days in Maruata watching the turtles then moved on to Playa Azul.  Not recommended.   Dirty town, ucky camping behind the hotel.  Beach OK for Rasta for a quick dip.  Nothing more.  Met an interesting Austrian couple headed for Central America, in a pretty incredible Land rover.  We then winded and I mean winded our way to Zihuat.  Two of the campgrounds are closed.  We lucked out at one half a block from the beach for 160 pesos if you stay a week.  We have been here 2 weeks and don’t know where the time has gone.  We just realized that the La Manzanilla deal with Ernst must be up today.  We are getting reading to head up to Patzcuero and the Monarch Butterfly sancutary.  We have had very hot wonderful weather here, 30C and up every day, warm nights and a wonderful ocean to swim in.  However, we hear that we will be a bit chilly when we go inland.  We are going to avoid Guadalajara and the Perifico do da.  Bypass Zamora and head towards Lake Chapala over the top and experience Villa Corona before heading to Colima where Richard wants to check out the body work/van painter guy.  We have so far had no further trouble with the clutch/gear issue.  touch wood.  We will then head back down to the coast.   PV  around Feb. 20ish.  Noted that Peter said Frankfurt hotel is no longer.  Hope this is not so.  Anyway, Frank and Rita if you will post this on the blog we are thankful.  Wondering what your plans are?  Are you going north or south????  Ernst how long will you be in PV?  Did cory and Ted get away.  Also Paul and Linda, what about your ski plans.  Jean where are you, still in Melaque?  We may see you back there soon.  Ben and Sylvie, love your blog messages.  sorry you didn’t like Soyulita.  We will also be spending time in Teacapan, which we loved, but will be in the campground nearest the town. Johnathen, I guess you were right about the clutch.  What are your plans and will we see you again down south, or whereever.  thanks for the photos,
 Guess that’s it for now, Terry and Richard.  Oh and Rasta  P.S.  Sorry for all you people that are home and in the snow and not enjoying this!!!
