Short post today. We left early for us today at 10:00am because the drive was supposed to take us 4 hours, which generally in Mexico time is 50%+ more. However, we ended up arriving at the campsite right at 3:45 hours, which surprised me. We chose the route that was not supposed to cost us any tolls, but ended up paying right at $200 pesos. It was welcomed because the road got pretty rough in the last 10 miles before we turned to the Autopista. The Autopista was smooth and averaged about 100kph. We are camping for one night and then storing our vehicle at Pepe’s RV park for the duration of our stay in CDMX. We will come back here and stay one more night and then see about visiting Graham and Luisa.
On our way out of San Miguel de Allende I got a bit sloppy and messed up after draining the tanks. I left the tank cover on the the-down bracket and it is likely in the campground on the cobblestone. Several weeks ago I was traveling on an autopista and when I got to al tool booth, one of the ladies told me I had something hanging out. The little door to the sewer drain hose storage had come open and I was dragging the hose on the road. Unfortunately for me the end and about half was destroyed. I have two hoses, but finding RV parts in Mexico is not as easy and it is in the USA. Well, funny thing. A guy stopped by at Pepe’s and tried to sell me an awning or anything else I needed. I don’t need an awning now, but I asked him about the cap and the hose. He came back 20 minutes later with a hose and a cover, for $22 USD. I gave him $400 pesos, which is about $24. Holy cow. What a bonus. I should have asked him about a filter. God is good to us.
Tomorrow we pack up lightly, shut everything off on Howie, pack him away, and meet with a guy named Rubio to take us to CDMX to the AirBnB. Pepe’s will store our home for the week we are away. So excited. I am not a city mouse, but NY was fun with Kathy, and I know CDMX will be more fun with her. Love that woman.
