Our Google Earth position still is:  23.25996N,  106.45864W   which is the San Fernando RV Park in  the middle of the "Gold Zona", Mazatlan, Mexico. 

Yesterday morning I waited around for two fellows to come and see if they could finally fix our “cab air-conditioning system while Louise and Carol headed off for the beach.  The guys were about half an hour late, but understanding Mexican time, they were right on time.  After attaching all the proper gauges and applying air pressure, they found what they thought was the leak…the same one that had been welded before !!!  So with an estimate in my hand and a time frame when it would be fixed, they began.  It just so happened that their estimate was exactly the same price that I had paid before in Santa Ana.  With pipe in hand, they took it to the welder.  About 45 minutes later they were back and installing it.  Now the true test…more air-pressure and listen.  What, a leak ????  “Señor, we’ve got a leak !!!,

_we’ll be back in the morning and I promise, IT WILL NOT LEAK !”  Well what can you do, you go with the flow, “we’ll see you in the mañana”.  Mean while the girls are having a good time at the beach.  Now as far a Sol, he was out looking for someone to change the oil on his truck.  Sol arrived back without having the oil changed and me without the air-conditioning working…you would think this was _ _ _ _ _.    Girls back just in time for all of us to head for the beach…Happy Hour !!!    I had heard about this one particular place that some of the others here at the campground were going to be at so we were off to find them.  Now if I knew that we would have that much trouble, we would have found our own Happy Hour.  After walking about a mile down the beach we did find our own place for a margarita but still no sign of the others.  We knew that we had most likely passed them so we started back up the beach.  Just as we were passing the El Cid Hotel, we noticed a large crowd gathered around this one fellow who was talking into a microphone.  I didn’t pay too much attention to what he was saying as I wanted to find the Happy Hour place.  Now for Louise, she started understanding what was being said and what was about to happen.  Grabbing Carol, she said “put your hand out, they’re going to put a baby turtle in it !!!”.

_Sure as heck, they had no sooner put out their hand and they each had a newly hatched sea turtle.  The plan was to stand in back of the line in the sand and when the young man with the mic gave the word, you were to lay the turtle down in the sand aimed towards the incoming waves.  Sure as heck, the word came and about 150-250 new baby turtles made their way to the surf.  This is Lou's turtle "el Fuente" making the big splunge:

_It was pretty magical to say the least.  OK, now what was it we were doing???...OH Ya, Happy Hour.

_We were lucky, the place we were looking for just happened to be right next door. “Last Call” call was called just as we walked in.  That’s OK, we already had what we were lucky enough to fall into, and anyway, now we were treated to a great sunset.  Horseback riders,

_sailboats moving into the last rays of the sun, and the best of all…being able to share this with friends.  Well this morning we were all going out to Deer Island and so some snorkeling, that was until I found myself not feeling so goooooddd.  I have no idea as to way, but it was a slightly unpleasant stomach pain.  Well Sol and Carol did go but found that when the wind picked up, it got too cold to get out of the water, but they stuck it out.  Louise stuck around with me and did go to the pool for a short while but was back in no time.  The crew did come back with the newly welded pipe,

_tested it, filled the system with Freon, and tested it to make sure it got cold as hell coming into the cab.  Well, let’s hope that today was a short lived unpleasantness and no one else catches it.  You know, I don't know if I should be showing Sol's face so much, he just may be on "the lamb"....who knows?
