Friday and we managed to keep busy

 Already been on the road 14 days. Sometimes it seems longer so much has gone wrong already. Right now almost everything is taken care of. This is a big RV park in San Carlos  And it is almost empty. One Canadian rig came in day before yesterday. They shipped their 5th wheel and truck to US then flew there to pick them up. Cost them over US$4000. And now the border is going to open. Bad timing for them. I'd be sitting  nickels. We would spend more time here but it is almost impossible to fill the water tank in the RV. Water pressure from the park is so low it takes not hours but days to fill the tank. So that will play into when we leave here.  

We had to take a trip into the bigger city of Guaymas today to see about getting Mexican MiFi. Usually during tourist season this center divider has the weeds trimmed. So guess they better get busy, by Nov 15th there will be lines of RV stopping overnight or staying here. 

When we first started coming here this little hill only had one hole in it. Now there are two and the one on the right gets bigger every year. 

Looking back at San Carlos. This is a pretty drive. (forgive any typing errors I miss my little finger is too sore to use today.)

We originally went to the TelCel main customer service office in Guaymas thinking we would/could buy a new MiFi. Last year they were advertising them. This year they acted like they had no idea what we were talking about. We still have old  one -its battery died last year so no longer worked. Had it with us - so it was suggested we take it to a repair place and have them put a new battery in it. So that is what we did. Had to waste some time so we walked around the stores a bit. Saw these cute baby cowboy boots. And the two pairs of woman's boots. I like the pair in the back with the embroidered flowers on them.

Going into the big Ley store - kind of like a Walmart - have everything.  They are serious about Covid protocols. Masks are mandatory every where. At one time they wouldn't let over 65s in, no children and only one person per family! #'s 3, 4, and 5 are no longer enforced. Also have temps taken and have to walk through sanitizer #2.

Thiss same bread we buy at Albertsons at home is cheaper here. Here US$2.90.

Just thought these were cute.

Sirloin about 3.99 a pound. Haven't bought beef in a while so not know if that is good or bad. 

Nice supply of veggies. 

Yellow peppers about 70 to 74 cents each,. 

Always surprises me to see nuns in their nun dresses. Don't remember last time I saw one in US.

Day Of The Dead is in a couple of days, 

So go a new battery in the old MiFi and it powered up, so back to TelCel to buy some GBs for it. Plastic dividers between clerks and customers. Also every other window is not manned. Spots on floor where customers have to stand. Again the temp check and mask mandate and walk through sanitizer to get in. Bottles of hand sanitizer every where. BTW Covid cases are very low here. So now have GBs and new battery. Clerk checked it out and it worked.  I hope it works in Mazatlan - or we will be without Internet for a while. 

Back in San  Carlos we went out to lunch on the beach (see header) All restaurants  here use degradable straws. The only problem is, they start degrading before you finish your drink. I went through two drinking my ice tea.
So now back in RV. The MiFi is charging, but...there is not a strong enough TelCel signal here to use it. It will come up on the laptop for a few seconds then loose all its bars.

A couple RVs from the US came in here this afternoon. They were towing cars. I asked them if they had to unhook and drive them through. Nope - she said they got to the check point before the military showed up in the morning. So get through the area early maybe. Also heard about another RV towing a car that did not have to check. Guess we were just unlucky. 

Watched the truck race this morning. Lots of action. Will watch the Xfinity race later today, should be good too.

We will be here until at least Monday morning, we don't have to leave until Tuesday. Mainly because I want to watch the NASCAR race tomorrow too. And right now we are able to get a little water from the parks spigot. Also this is a three day weekend - Day of the Dead. Lots of people out and about.
