We spent almost a week at our dream spot in the Maine Public Forest. We had the spot right by the river all to ourselves and only left when our fridge was empty and we had used up all our firewood.
After 4 weeks of beach vacation, of which we enjoyed every day and surprisingly never got bored, we leave our beautiful place in Lo de Marcos and drive along the sea to Puerto Vallarta. There we go to a campground near the city center. The town has a beautiful promenade lined with palm trees and here you can also watch a show by the valadores, the flying people. Five people in colorful costumes climb a 20-40m high mast. One of them sits on the top of the mast and begins to play a flute while the other four tie a rope around themselves and drop headfirst backwards, floating towards the earth in ever-increasing circles. A spectacle that can be seen in many Mexican cities.
At over 35 degrees and 80% humidity, the temperatures are higher than the average European can bear. Showering doesn't help, because 5 minutes later you're wet again. So strolling around the city is not really a pleasure.
After six wonderful weeks with our children, grandchildren and friends, we fly back to San Jose del Cabo on Baja California on April 23rd. Apart from a thick layer of dust, MOMO survived our absence well and we spend the first night at the gates of the storage facility. After a big shopping trip, we head into the mountains the next day to Rancho Verde, where we acclimatize for a few days.
