Blogs from Rincon de Guayabitos, Nayarit, Mexico, North America

A zoccolo is the main plaza or square in a town/city . The flight went well . I had gotten a cheap ticket on line @100 Canadian and had some anxiety when I realized the name on the ticket was not written the same as on my passport ... Benjamin at the hostel was so kind trying to sort it out by phone and later checking me in online. He was such a sweet heart ! My time in Mexico city was good . I am pleased that I was able to see new things and revisit some that I had missed the first time I was there . Morelia did not disappoint . It is very justifiably on the UNESCO heritage list . I am glad I got there this time . I think that ... read more

Thursday, 26 January. We’ve spent the past four days in Rincon de Guayabitos’s Paraiso del Pescador trailer park. This small, immaculately clean, attractive park is constantly full of regulars who winter here every year. They are like a large family – everybody knows everybody. We only got a space because the folks who occupied our site had to return home for emergency reasons the day we pulled in. Almost all of the “residents” are Canadian. There are only a couple of other Americans. Everybody is friendly and made us welcome. Each evening at 5:00 we gather on the large patio area overlooking the beach where everybody places their chair in a circle, women on one side, men on the other and play In The Box, a dice game where players chip in one peso each (about ... read more

We are in Mexico still and spent a couple of nights at a wonderful RV park Celestino, cheap, nice, relaxing. We drove further after that, and spent a night in Teacupland wich was free, and beautiful, but buggy. We had a wonderful idea of going to check the waves in the morning at a beach down the road. Unforutunatly we drove a bit to close to the beach, where we thought was grass, and sank into the sand...... yep we were stuck. We happened to see a bc plate truck drive by and asked if he could help. He got a local farmer to come and tow us out of the sand........ for a low price of 200 pesos. If the farmer had not come, we would definatly still be there. Last night we got another ... read more

Hi Friends and Family, We have finally got internet access on the last day of our holiday in Mexico. We have had a fabulous time whale watching, sun-tanning, snorkeling, boogie boarding and hiking around Nayarit, Mexico. We have met lots of great people and Steven got his money´s worth of alcohol at the all-inclusive bar. We have all been enjoying guacamole, fajitas, giant prawns, and even some grade A Alberta beef at the local hangout - Tequila Willy's. We have been to tourist markets, local markets, five beaches and one island destination. All in all, a great trip. I will post the photos when I get back home..... The photos have been posted. Our Hotel is Decameron Los Cocos in Rincon de Guayabitos, Riviera Nayarit. While it was only a 3-star resort, it was much better ... read more

We arrived back home to our “Mansion on Wheels” or our mini home in LaPenita on Jan 14th and it was a wonderful feeling. It is amazing how close you can get to people that were strangers just a few months ago but you get 240 people living a rabbit warren (if that’s a word) what can you expect. You know each other pretty well. Our wonderful friend, James was at the airport waiting for us. We drove up to LaPenita from Puerto Vallarta, dropped our stuff here and then we jumped in our truck and drove John and Sharie to their accommodation in Chacala. Chacala is about a 20 minute drive from here. A very small town with a few restaurants, a couple of tiny stores and a beautiful beach. I think it was a ... read more
