Feb 6th & 7th - San Carlos

Feb 6th - Wed - San Carlos
A departing “caravan” of RVs provided entertainment this morning. Bill & Geri were traveling with 4 other rigs as far as Hermisillo where the the 4 others were continuing on to Kino Bay and Bill & Geri were heading north. Everyone had to gather for farewell hugs and good wishes and then all the rigs maneuvered out of their spots and lined up on the main road in the park. Pat did a quick count of 20 people standing around when Bill was backing out! 2 rigs pulled out and when a 5th wheel pulled off the edge of the sidewalk to follow them, they blew a tire on the 5th wheel - Terry figures a loose chunk of concrete got pinched between the dual tires and popped the rear one. Of course all the watching men had to migrate to the road to oversee the tire changing operation which they did quickly. It took less than an hour for the 5 spots to be filled with people who had to camp on the road to wait for a spot.
Rick & Pat and we went to the tourist info center to try to get reservations on the Copper Canyon train. While Pat & I were doing that, the guys went out to the lot to let the dogs out as the “lot people” all went to Hermasillo for the day. Then we went to the Soggy Peso Bar for lunch but it was very windy there so we went down the road to a nice hotel. It was also too windy and cool there so we ended up at a restaurant closer to town that we had not tried before. Had a nice lunch (by this time, a late lunch) and came back to rest & read. Pat & Terry played Canasta. Just after 5 I went to the lot as no one had stopped by for the keys and I thought the dogs might need to go out again. Turns out they had just got back so I visited for a few minutes and brought back some items they had picked up for us and another lady in the park. Pat just barely beat Terry at Canasta.

Feb 7th - Thurs - San Carlos
I did too much walking yesterday - my ankle is sore today. Rick had a dentist appointment today so Terry & I went for a late breakfast at Rosa’s Cantina and then did a bit of grocery shopping. Took it easy the rest of the day so I could get my foot up. Pat had ordered some shrimp that were supposed to be cut in half with the shells left on for barbequing but there was a miscommunication and we got butterflied & shelled. So Pat cooked some on the barbeque with a couple of different seasonings and I made quesadillas and salad for another shared dinner. We do eat well!!
We had Happy Hour with our neighbors until the sun set and it cooled off so we were not done with dinner until nearly 7, just in time for the first episode of Survivor.
