Update on our Isla site

Meanwhile back at our old compound some serious cement pouring is happening re the construction of a swimming pool. No one really knows what is  being planned for the site.

The necessary tree trimming has been done and the route is clear. However there are some very deep and wide pot holes that we will have to navigate.

This will be the gate that we will drive in through. The owner has put a huge amount of energy into cleaning up the site and laying new gravel.

The plan is for the front of the RV to be parked next to where the grey wall ends, just before red brick wall and the palapa. All that gravel will be our space.

Brand new installation of a sewer system and 50AMP RV plug.

Three new breaker panels. We are #15 and a large 5th wheel will be beside us in #14. Lot 13 is for the old 5th wheel that is placed along the back wall. We had been told that it was rented but this past weekend we were told that it is not.

Brand new meters will be installed.

Our friends Lusana and Mario visited from Chihuahua, Chihuahua over the weekend. Mario is an electrician who also teaches electricity and he checked out every inch of the new electrical installation paying specific attention to wire gauge, connections, grounding etc. All is ready for us.

They also gifted Colin with lovely shirt and I with a magnificent matching shawl. Both the softest materials from Oaxaca, Mexico.  We had lots of laughs which Colin and I certainly needed.

We will be on the right.

Only 7 more sleeps until we can be parked here.

We actually went out to a late lunch / early dinner two days in a row which was much too much for us. We are not used to much activity and it has taken us a few days to recover.

We ate at La Caleta on Saturday and we were not at all impressed. Never mind the half hanging door in the view but the service was bad as was the food.  We will give it one more try once we are back on the Isla but I am doubtful it will become favorite.
