We have arrived on the Isla!

It was a great travel day, we were driving by 6:03AM and arrived on the Isla itself by 12:40PM.  It was a stressless drive. In fact we wondered if this cartel war was for real.  We saw neither bad guys nor good guys ( police/military, etc ) no one was being pulled over every so often as we have been the past two past days. No military presence whatsoever. The roads were busy with mostly trucks. Never saw another RV since we left the US border. It was an easy non stressful drive.

Until we got to the Isla that is 🙄

We disconnected as usual but Colin decided to take the Jeep for a quick preview of the condition of the road and the low hanging  trees. He was gone almost 90 minutes 😯 Finally he came back with dismal news. Our site was full of weeds and our gravel had not been delivered and the gate was rusted shut! But worst of all there were so many low hanging tree branches that needed to be cut so we could drive to our site. It would take hours.

I made an executive decision and called David, manger of Tres Amigos and he graciously offered us to stay in which ever site we want to in RV1. It truly felt like coming home. Our site for years and years was number one but we stopped in site number two. Not sure we would fit in our old site with the new to us RV. But it was really wonderful, pulling in here. Even the girls knew where they were.

So tomorrow is tree cutting and gravel delivery day. I am staying here with the girls. Nothing is planned for certain but we wonder if it might be best for us to relax here for a few days and get our INM Visa business completed and then move to the compound Tuesday or later. Here it will be like a vacation just sitting and relaxing.  Moving involves starting a permanent set up. I vote to stay and relax 😎   We already had visitors earlier this afternoon which was very pleasant. Happy Birthday Jeannie, sorry but we really needed to set up the RV. Hope your dinner was extra special.

I feel asleep watching the ocean waves and then it was sunset. Perfection.

First Isla sunset this season. It feels so great to be back.

    By all means take a few days to rest as both of you will benefit from a rest, the sand, the waves and the view. Does Colin ever slow down? I share start calling him the Pink Bunny as he never stops!
