4 December ‘09 Our Google Earth position today is: 21.47460N, 105.19613W or Playa Amor de Mexico. Playa Amor is our new campground and is located about 8 miles south of San Blas. We’re sitting right on the edge of a wonderful breakwater overlooking the Pacific Ocean with about 10 other RV’s from Canada and the USA. The further we go south, the more times we will run into an RV that was in one of the same campgrounds we were in somewhere north of here. I’m sure that will continue until we get past Puerta Vallarta and then the RV travelers will start to thin out. Last night in Teacapan, we drove down the beach about 3 miles to a restaurant/campground for dinner. Pelicanios sits in a beautiful surroundings right out on the edge of the water in a protected circular bay. A couple of hundred yards to the right and you are in town and a hundred yards to the left and you are parked within the coconut palm trees and waiting for that perfect drop from high above to put a huge dent on your roof or take out your windshield. Even in this little out of the way restaurant we ran into a fellow traveler we met in Santa Ana. Santa Ana was our first park once we entered Mexico. Bob has parked his travel trailer down the beach and it “free-camping” for a couple of weeks before heading down to Guatemala for the winter. Dinner was served under the awning with the waves lapping at our feet and coincidentally, we all enjoyed a seafood dinner. Sol and Carol split a large whole red snapper and Louise and I ordered the whole robalo (a smaller fish that was shaped like a large trout but with a snout nose). We were all awake and out at the surf early this morning waiting for the local dolphin pod to show up. Well I guess we couldn’t be too lucky and get them to show both of the mornings we were there. Getting up early did do one thing, it got us on the road a little earlier. We took the “Libra” road (the free road) that takes you to more little towns and villages compared to the “Cuota” (toll road) that most often will get you there quicker. The scenery was changing all around us again on this leg of our journey. It didn’t take long for us to find ourselves traveling into the more dense tree coverings and hector after hector of banana trees. We also followed beside a large estuary the last 2 hours of our drive. At one point we were climbing and winding our way up the sides of the coastal mountains and once hitting the crest we were winding on this tight little 2 lane road down to the coast again. Coming into one of the many little villages, we came upon the constant “TOPES” signs and again the constant entrepreneur that was at the side and middle of the roadway selling their goods. Now this little village was one that had a little different item to sell. These ladies were selling the “fruit cup” that we’ve always enjoyed while on the beaches of Cabo. The big difference between what we got here and what we received on the beach was that these cost 50 percent less and they were 3 times larger. These are sooo large that we still haven’t finished the first one… After getting our rigs settled into their new settings at Playa Amor, we drove into San Blas. We had already passed through the small town of Alticama on our way to Playa Amor, and we all noticed that the whole community seemed to have a specialty of their own…banana bread. One stand after another…yep, you guessed it, we’ve got banana bread that was made here in the banana capital of The World !!! Well that may be stretching it a little, but we did buy our bread. Then it was onto San Blas. Now this was a big disappointment to all of us…there was just too much hype to justify the San Blas we saw today. Oh well, we went, we saw, we ate, and we left…Next!!!
