A quick note to all (reader and travelers).

First, the Subaru installation was a success,  after some sad goodbye to Mark & Patricia, we left the beautiful city of Zacatecas yesterday morning, we is me and Sylvia, Paul & Linda, jerry and Jonathan. Hans stayed behind to finish some small details, hi should join us today. We took the toll highway (about 25$ total!!!) to Guadalajara, a faster route than the nice but longer 54. Guadalajara is one big city! (second after Mexico city) we had plan to go around in the “Perifico” but yea! of course we never found the perifico and ended up in the center of it… what an experience, at the main “CRASY” intersection we lost Jerry and Jonathan, Peter was able to find me back, wile trying to stop somewhere to wait for them… i hit hard the sidewalk… i thought that i had destroy my front right tire and wheel, but fortunately that German wheel is way stronger than i thought… anyway, with the help of those portable radio and some luck we all meet back a little out of the city at a Pemex, but again, Paul & Linda had a small mechanical problem with the master cylinder, brake light was ON and they were loosing fluid fast, night was coming and we had to fix that before dark. The good new was that it was only the bottle O-ring/sleeve that was leaking… a few tie rap and were back on the road, 20 minutes later we entered the little town on Villa Corona, why! Hot Spring and a campground. My fist impression was not so good, 19$ a nigh with access to all pools… anyway, we had a great night talking and eating, this morning I’m sitting in the little paradise full of gringos mostly from Canada and some from the US, but Canadian are everywhere. Me, i have NO problem with RV park and the gringos in it, i think that they are travelers like me and for the most of them, they are great folks. So, Sylvia is like a little girl this morning, she is surrounded by palm trees and all those hot spring pools. I’m sitting here, alone in the sun, in a nice little terrace with WIFI, the sun is up, it’s goona be nice today… still, the night are cold, around 8C. But they say the days are hot. Kind of perfect i guess. Not the beach but a nice compromise. Peter and Ernst are leaving today, slowly for Zamora, Hans should be coming, Linda & Paul and Jonathan may leave for a free place on the lake? I will stay with Jerry and may go with him to pick up Sofie Wednesday night. Tuesday is market day and Wednesday is an Mexican holiday, the local told me it’s gonna be crazy and full of firework… fiesta por favor!!!  Anyway, that is the situation for part of the group now.

Me, well, i finally  for the fist time ??? feel that the real vacation and relaxing time are coming, i need it bad.

My goal today, getting in town and around with my camera bag, time for some pictures. So i will create a new page on my site about this place.

Asta la vista baby.
