FULLTIMING WITH SUE, JOHN AND ARNIE From Puerto Vallarta to Dallas

El Fuerte to Huatabampito Feb 10, 2008

While we were at the Copper Canyon Arnie was taken care of by his new friend Trini.

Judging by Arnie’s affection for him, Trini must have done a good job!

This morning I went into El Fuerte

and used the internet access there. I stopped for a piece of tres leches cake at a coffee shop that we had found earlier in the week. The proprietor is a young woman name Daniela

who surprised us with excellent, and clearly Midwestern, English. It turns out that she spent a year in Powers, MI through a student exchange program.

As we were readying the See Ya to depart, I discovered a small nick at the base of the windshield. On the advice of Trini and a couple of his friends I have glued a half peso over the spot and am hoping that it will hold until we return to the U.S.

We headed west from El Fuerte to route 15 and then north to the turnoff to Huatabampo fifteen miles to the east. Most of the road to Huatabampo is farmland.

Huatabampito is ten miles south of Huatabampo. The road was generally good and we have arrived at the El Mirador Campground at the beach!
