A fun end to the day

We had no issues coming in to Mexico nor with the required paperwork required to get in.
The day started at 7:15AM and 281 miles later we arrived at the Fletcha station about 3:40PM. We had to wait almost an hour for a site to open up. I had to drive the RV in as Colin directed me.
About 4:15PM Dianne and Bob, our neighbours who live across the street from us in Kelowna, dropped by for a very quick visit. They had asked us to pick up a few groceries for them.This is their first time driving to Mexico and currently are staying with other neighbours (from our street back home), at Totonaka RV Park in San Carlos.
It gets dark about 5:30 PM so Bob needed to leave before it did. Just about an hour later my good friend, Ferne, showed up with her friends ( their first time in mainland Mexico ).This truck stop was full full full. It wasn’t too long after dark that Colin noticed what he thought was Ferns’ RV coming in. It was. So we put her behind us  and her friends parked behind another semi that had extra space in be
Then once settled they all came over for a drink.  Finally about 8:45 PM we were able to make a quick dinner for ourselves.
So as I am much too tired to do a proper post with photos etc, this mini version will keep you updated. I promise to add a few details tomorrow.
Gosh I just woke up without publishing this post  Photos to come.

    I am always so amazed by your ability to do such regular daily blog updates, particularly while en route. Although I blog too, I just can’t find the energy at the end of a travel day. Good for you! And thank you for these, following your travels and the gorgeous pictures to and from Mexico is what inspired us to begin doing the same. Safe travels to you.

    No matter how many time we cross, it is always a relief to get across into Mexico. We were always prepared but once we were almost turned back because we could not produce our marriage license, something I have never heard of anyone else ever being asked for. Norma defused the situation by turning it into a joke, saying it had crumpled away with age. She laughed and let it go, telling us to get a copy for next time. We did but were never asked for it again.

    1. Good for Norma. Since you told me that story we now carry a copy of our marriage certificate.
