Whoa! What was
that? Sounded like thunder so I looked towards the window and could see lots of
light – the sun was up. Hum? Turned back over. Rumble rumble. For sure thunder.
Got up put on coffee and looked out window towards the southeast. Some blue sky
and the sun was peeking out. Looked towards the northwest and was black with
clouds. More heavy thunder and a few drops of rain. Clouds are moving fast
northwest. What a surprise. We’ve been watching the weather closely the last
couple of days as we are getting closer and closer to leaving. Saw no mention
of this.
Yesterday we picked
up our last load of laundry done by the lavaderia.
I will miss that. Yes we are getting ready to head home. Probably will be
in the states in six or seven days. Plan on leaving here Monday morning – or
maybe Sunday afternoon. Then overnight stops in Los Mochis ,
San Carlos and then USA . May stay in San Carlos two nights, depending on how rough
the roads are and if The Driver feels like a rest. It averages out to each
stretch being about 260 miles. Long days on rough roads.
Tom will be
leaving here Sunday morning…He’ll be getting home to 72 degree weather – almost
warmer than here – well not quite but…Also in weather report are severe flood
warnings for our area at home. Heavy rains for two or three days. Glad the
house is on a hill.
Today the Alfa is
getting a wash and wax. Maybe I’ll even vacuum in here later…then again maybe
not. We’ll pick up dust along the road. I guess it can wait until we get to Arizona .
Now we are
figuring diesel mileage and pesos – don’t want to have much of either when we
cross the border. We know it will take 2200 pesos for tolls and about 85
gallons of diesel to get to AZ. Also pesos for overnight stops and eating out.
Got to get the calculator out!
Took an excursion
to San Ignacio Thursday. A nice little town about 60 miles north east of Mazatlan . It was in the mid 90’s there!
And yesterday we
went to Malpica to the bakery and to Concordia just for the drive. Both nights
we went out to dinner. Last night we met Angelica in the Plazuela Machado for a
pleasant dinner.
