Up with the sun at 5:45!

Annabelle and I packed up and headed off to Guerrero Negro. About an hour and 45 minutes drive. I am out of clean clothes and gas. Time to restock!

Drove past some cows this morning. Why did the cow cross the road?

A couple recommended I stop at the small town before Guerrero Negro and get breakfast at the cafe and use their WiFi. It was fantastic WiFi and it’s hard to come by. I ordered huevos con chorizo and enjoyed getting my blogs scheduled for the next few days.

I drove into Guerrero Negro and dropped my laundry off. In my terrible Spanish I understood come back in two hours. She also gave me a slip that said 1:30. Not sure if that means 130 pesos or 1:30 this afternoon.

This town has some funny second hand stores around. They are just crammed stalls with everything under the sun. A ton of stuff was the clearance items from target still with the sticker.

I found a gem of a chair for sun tanning and also a “beer cooler” no room for beer in my yeti!

I checked in at the “camp ground” in town and grabbed a shower. It was hot! It was about $10 to stay for one night with dump, bathrooms, showers and WiFi. That was about it but I would have paid that for a hot shower!

It’s basically a big parking lot that is kinda secure.

I stocked up on some groceries. M&Ms were very hard to find and no good avocados so I must find them on the way out. I filled up my empty tank and dumped my grey water. Surprised I had only filled it 1/2 way (3 gallons) over the last two weeks! Pretty good! I was taught a strict lesson from Phelan that I was wasting too much water. I think I’m getting pretty good at a process for dishes now where I only have about 2 cups water used and that’s 3 days worth of dishes!

I learned how to pronounce ice correctly today. I keep wondering why no one understands me. Hielo is not pronounced like helium but like Yellow. Baby steps!

I walked with Annabelle to the near by taco place on the street corner. I ordered 2 carne tacos and 2 pastor. They were mui bien!

Annabelle was very well behaved even after being a feral surf dog for the last few days.

I headed to a bar and grabbed a tequila mojito. It was not very impressive but only cost me $3.40 so I’ll survive! My evening plans are to read! Maybe FaceTime Julia and map my route tomorrow.

I’m headed back north (Norte) to El Cardon. Supposed to be friendly waves and meeting back up with a few people I left this morning. Goal is leave at sunrise and arrive in time for some morning surf!

Supposed to be rough road!

There is to be zero driving at night here. Livestock are cause of 80% of accidents here. They apparently like to sleep on the road. And some people don’t have the money for headlights and some people are just drunk. So daylight is key.
