We are back on the Isla
Our home away from home. It was a short drive @ 194 miles but as I type this I am beyond tired. We have driven 2,591 miles over the last 11 days 😉
A lot of new greenhouses in the Culiacan area and they are all sporting new netting.
Great news,the road from the airport to Estrella del Mar has been recently repaved. It had pot holes last year but we didn’t find it all that bad. They are currently installing guard rails. What a treat!
Even better there are finally some signs for Tres Amigos with directions.
The best news of all is that the last unpaved km is being worked on right now.
We had to wait a few minutes for the grader to move out the pile of soil and for this machine to smooth it out. He was rolling backwards as we followed him. Likely this project will be completed in just a few days.
The rest of the road was finished over the last two years. There is no reason to not stop in for even just a few days as you head further south for the winter. Or just come to the Isla for the rest of the winter.
Once the pavement ends the signs show you were to go. Left for a very short period of time and you have arrived in paradise. We suspect that by next year this area will also be paved.
Sadly the photo I took of our empty site was blurry. That’s okay as we want to create some new memories this trip. It is very hot here as well as humid, right now at 6:30PM, 70% 😯 Everyone says that it is getting much better and cooler. Perhaps tomorrow I will notice a difference. Meanwhile we are living in AC. The inside of the RV becomes very hot as we travel as the engine is under the bed. I know that in a few days we will acclimatize, we always do. Due to the heat we did the minimum outside and concentrated on sorting out the inside while staying cool. So now we have the rest of the evening off but first I need to make us some dinner.
Our first sunset. Not a great shot but the jejenes were out and biting. The other RVers continued to sit outside as they are now used to the noseeums.
Sadly we did not get out for a beach walk but it was really too hot and sticky. Tomorrow promises to be a full day and then we may just let some of our stuff sit while we relax. However we both prefer to push through and get it all done and then we will truly relax. No matter, it is still wonderful to finally be here.

GLAD YOU ARE SAFELY THERE. IT WAS A LONG DRIVE BUT NOW YOU CAN RELAX AND ENJOY YOURSELVES. IT WILL SEEM DIFFERENT FOR A WHILE BUT HOPEFULLY FOR NOT TOO LONG.
HUGS.
Yes it is different without our girls but we will adjust. Tired but happy to be here.
Yea, happy arrived safely!
Thank you mi amiga, for your traveling mercies as I know that they make a difference.
Welcome home!
Gracias
Finally the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow – enjoy it!
Well said my friend.
It’s nice to be settled down in Paradise, isn’t it.
Not quite settled but happy to be here.
glad you are there. but take it easy, especially outside. still going to be hot and very humid for a few days. Don’t make your selves sick – things can wait to be done. drinks lots of fluids first few days.
We were very careful and drank a great deal of water all through the day. Appreciate your concern and suggestion.
Nice that you are there and will soon be settled in again.
Settled and relaxed 🙂
I feel warmer already. 🙂 Good to hear you made the last part of the trip without any RV or towing difficulties. Enjoy making new memories on the beach.
Umm Steve, if you were here you would be melting. Yes we are going to be making new memories.
Excellent, excellent! You lucky soles.

Ah, that Beautiful view!!
Not sure if I would ever tire of it.
Beautiful view from your window! Home sweet home, not much better than that. Are they paving the road that the horses and ATVs use at some point?
No it does not get much better. Sadly no that road is not going to be paved. It is mostly sand that becomes deeper every years with the winds and the high winter tides. We were able to get Ismael to hose it down every morning last winter which helped, so we plan to ask him again it he would do to.
