Alamos
Today was a scheduled “free day” for the guests. Some of the group decided they would walk uptown which was just a short distance from our RV park. Susie and I decided to drive and we found them walking down on of the narrow streets. We met Cliff, Joan, Ann and Donna at a nice restaurant and ordered from the menu. It seemed that everyone connected with the restaurant was related and the owner spoke good English. She welcomed us to Mexico and told us how happy she was to have us there. The food was good and reasonably priced.
After lunch we found a Pemex and got fuel. It was 101.8 per liter which I figured to be $3.01 per gallon with an exchange rate of $12.65. We also got ice (hielo) and headed back to the park before it could melt in the 80 degree heat.
The conditions seem to have improved somewhat since the last time we were here. The vehicles seemed to be newer and better. There are more trucks on the road. You still see the ancient Dina trucks but there are more and more Kenworth, Volvo, and Peterbilts. One thing with these people doesn’t change and that’s their happiness, their friendliness and their willingness to welcome you to their country.
