Heading for home after a relaxing vacation on the beach.
The repainted car . . . ready to hit the road!
Some last minute bargaining for souveniers. The merchants were hurting from the slow economy and torn up streets in the Old Downtown area.

More from Mexico
Lori and Dale made the most of their time in Mexico. Swimming and sunning on the beach, eating great seafood, riding a wave runner, checking out the local cantinas and restaurants, holing up in the RV on hot afternoons, reading and taking lots of siestas.

Lori and Dale's Anniversary
Gene's daughter Lori and husband Dale drove down from Nebraska to spend their 30th anniversary laying on the beach in Puerto Penasco, Mexico, for 11 days. We parked the RV at Playa Bonita for them and joined them their final two days. They want to bring their whole family back next October and rent a four bedroom highrise condo at Sonoran Sky next to the RV park. Hope it works out!

A side benefit of visiting Mexico: getting your car repaired and painted by Jesus and Manuel, owners of Painting Perfection. Lori and Dale spruced up their car and we had a few dents removed from our RV and Saturn bumper.
The shrimp fleet was back to work in October. Marcelino delivers fresh shrimp to your RV door. Add garlic and butter for a scrumptuous meal.
Sunsets are a reason to be outside in the late afternoon. We viewed them from every angle . . . from the hill above Rocky Point, from the Point Restaurant on the pier and from the wall or beach behind the RV.
There are lots of fun things to do, like renting a wave runner. There was a Hobi Catamaran regata going on when we first arrived. The water was ideal for swimming (about 85 degrees). The best time to walk the beach was early morning when it was cool.
As their slogan says: "If you haven't been to JJ's Cantina, you haven't been to Rocky Point." We took Lori and Dale to Cholla Bay and stopped for a cerveza at JJ's.
From JJ's patio, we watched the boat launchers hook up a trailer then back into the shallow surf to retrieve its owner. There is no harbor in Cholla Bay, so somebody came up with this unique boat launcher that looks like a tractor on stilts. The engine sits high above the tires and never gets wet no matter how far they have to back up into the bay.
