Home Sweet Home in Paradise




We are pretty darned settled in. The roof of the bus is painted with that fancy ceramic heat reflecting paint (the ceiling is always cool to the touch now), our bikes are back from their tune-ups (taking a ride tomorrow), and the garden is under way.

We are the only ones living in the RV park. We are loving the solitude and privacy to get ourselves back into the Mazatlan groove. Our road trip seems like a dream now. We had some rain in Puerto Penasco and we are happy to report that the bed loft stayed cozy and dry. We missed an earthquake in Los Mochis by a couple of hours. I’m not disappointed. And with all the talk about Narcos and Banditos, as it turns out, it was the mice that brought us to our knees. We lost a whole day to cleaning out the mess. Bastards.

On our first day here, we started seeing friendly faces. On our second day here, we shared a temazcal with our Maz family. On our third day, we went to our favorite cafĂ©, the Looney Bean, and had the best coffee……

We are both still mighty tired at the end of the day, but the nights are perfect for a good sleep. Cool breezes all night. And no bugs. Hallelujah.
