Or it’s a long way to go to avoid turkey! Our transition to Mexico began the first night; we camped at Nogales, USA side and immediately sensed a difference There was a Mexican Christmas fiesta in progress, hey Macerena was playing loudly, Kids were kicking up the autumn leaves in 70 F sunshine.

Well, we have talked about it for years now at last we have taken the plunge. Call it "adult gap year", career break or mid life crisis, but the house is sold, possessions in store,sold, on loan, given or thrown away, many parties had and our old life on hold. Now we are making final preparations to head to the USA to purchase our new home ( an RV) and travel North, Central and Southern America or where ever the road takes us. Watch this space ..........

Keep digging

So nearly there

You are not allowed to use flash to take pictures as the light disorientates the turtles, i was so pleased to have this opportunity the next morning.

Help at hand

AN excellent choice to stop to buy tomatoes, right outside this workshop. They use these tiny screws to keep a lot of the rig together I think by the time we get back to the States we may well have quite a bit of our rig in a plastic bag

Countryside

If you didnt know otherwise, could'nt this be a picture of Thailand or India.

Pretty (noisy ) bird

These birds make a loud echo type noise.

? ancient Mayan RV

We thought this Glyph represented the sign for an ancient RV Park

Palenque

We loved this site, if you look at the side you can see the back part has not been excevated.

Passing scenery

Birthday beer

Cheers everyone, Dates are difficult in this life. Graeme wished me "Happy Birthday" a day early.

Birthday view

We sat on the beach taking in this view. Not bad for January.

Wicked bus!

In Acupulco all the buses are painted with film characters or scenes. SO you can catch the "Shrek" bus or Dumbo.

Palanque

market stall

These sacks contained dried chillies and Mole paste( a tradtional Chiapas dish, made with spices and chocolate, Graemes favourite)

Graeme being a turtle!

At the site at Acapulco we had these little wading pools. The trouble was we parked with it right outside the door, so had to be careful not to forget it was there.

Oncoming traffic problem

We were confronted by this herd heading towards us, no problem, they just bumped along the side of the bus....
