A major change of plans.

Well we are still in Mazatlan Bill woke up Tuesday morning not feeling well - NOT COVID - stomach very upset. Stomach did not improve so a couple of hours later he made the decision, which I wholly agreed with, to not drive. The car was/is already hooked up. We had almost every thing ready to go, just had to pull in slides and leave.  By evening he was feeling a "little" better. He had a very restless night and come Wednesday morning was still not sure he felt well enough to drive. Again okay. We could stay here up until March 3rd if we want to. So anyway...here we are. A couple of pretty -very - quiet days. Car is still hooked up. 

Yesterday was the first day of Carnival, but the big crowds are expected to arrive starting today. Goody, goody. The government is asking every one driving here to go slow and avoid accidents caused by traffic and bad roads. Bad roads? Really? At least when we do leave we will be going against the traffic. 

Watching the mess going on in Ukraine. Not good.  But enough of that. 

In the last post I mentioned and took pictures of the weird structures that were being built on the beach.  Found out what they are for. From the paper, "You will notice that there are about 10 structures already installed at beach level. Various artifacts, including light and thunder, as well as special effects will be installed on them." For the big fireworks show that will be one night. The hotels are at 100% full for the next week. And Covid protocols will be enforced for the duration of Carnival. To enter the planned events people will need to show vaccination certificate or negative test. Hope that works. 

However - he just got up and says he feels great. So in a little bit we will put the rest of the possible flying objects - away and head north. Tonight in truck stop so probably no Internet. Two nights in San Carlos then on to Amado, AZ for a couple of nights. Will post when we are in San Carlos. Sure hope todays road is better going north than it was coming south.
