Casa Rodante: Guadalajara to San Miguel de Allende
We spent 10 days in a row in a hotel because of John’s injury. It was just too hard in the camper to deal with trying to keep things sterile and the walk to the bathroom was way too long. They were not easy days. I'm cleaning and changing the dressing twice a day, and applying suture strips to try to keep the wound together since the stitches didn’t take. John can't walk far. It’s no joke. So we splurged a few nights on a nice hotel and then got the cut looked at again. The


The jungle, a boat, and some deep fried crickets: Mazatlan to San Blas
Not in that order, however. First the boat: Getting the rig on a ferry seemed kind of daunting to me at first. Probably because in the mountains of research we did for this trip, I saw a video of a Russian cargo ship in an icy storm and huge seas.

The border official said it wasn’t too busy because Black Friday was the day before and it’s better to shop online. Go figure. We have been to Mexico so many times over the past 20 years but for some reason driving here gave us a little thrill. We cruised down the coast and stopped for a decadent lunch in Puento Nuevo – the lobster capital of Baja. It di
