Winding roads down the mexican coast to Oaxaca

---

Drove quite a bit the past couple of days, and found some nice cheap places to stay on the beach! Stayed just outside of Papanoah, next to a restaruante and pluged in... they said they just wanted a tip for staying the night! We thought it would be polite of us to go and have dinner at the restaruant for such nice hospitality.... were sure glad we did!! Fresh seafood... they catch it right out front of the restaurant!!! We all really enjoyed it. Drove south along the coast and went through a tunnel in Acapulco, a navigational error that ended up costing $500 pesos in tolls...oops. We saw a car accident, and the people don't move to the side. They just get out of their vehicles and wait for the federals to come and arrest them (in mexico you are guilty of the car accident until they can prove fault). There was a strong military presence in the state of guerrero. We drove through various military check points and a few federales checkpoints too. We got the full RV search once, at which point jordans wallet dissapeared. From under his bed. Luckily no credit cards were inside. Take that federales! We sayed at another beach town, in Tomy's parking for $50 pesos... the dog really liked it because he had some friends to play with, but there was no surf, so we moved on. We will rest up in puerto escondito, try to catch a wave or two and plan our next move.

Hi all! thanks for all the updates. It's fun reading about your experiences. And the pictures are great. I can't believe the cops ripped you off! I hope there wasn't too much money lost. And what about ID? Hard to travel without it If I travel there, I'll have a fake wallet planted and laugh my way down the road when they steal it. Never trust a mexican. Alyne - wow! Good for you for not freaking out and driving off the road! I hope it didn't sting too bad. And the MH sounds like it's holding up well. You'll know all the good places to stay when you are done. Rick and Deb spent 3 weeks in Panama and didn't have fish once! There wasn't any around! I was hoping to have a few really fresh fish dinners, but maybe I won't. But I did see Rick's picture of the tarantula - yikes! We'll see you guys real soon (Wow that went fast!) Looking forward to hearing your stories. Stay safe and keep on trucking! Love, Janine
