After driving to the outskirts of Culiucan, a large city of vices, I stopped in a hotel which made MadDog very happy. A dinner of Oaxan Tampequena was pretty good and cheap and so was the beer. We even had TV, and watched Chiva (Mexican City soccer team) play against I'm not sue who. I was disappointed there were no Mexican soap operas. In the am, we got ready for the next day's drive, to our destination: San Blas. I had decided to stop there, with an invitation from a dear friend from Yelapa. It's a chill place with good body surfing, he told me.
And he was right. It's a very chill place with very friendly people and not many tourists. Alan and I drive around on our bikes and just park them on the street and they stay there. What kind of place can you do that in anymore in this world? There's a fantastic beach, with perfect waves and a spot to lie in a hammock. Maddie is starting to LIKE going in the backpack because it means she is going somewhere and not being left behind. In San Blas, she goes into restaurants, bars, markets, everywhere. She is having a sniffing field day! She had her first ocean experience and actually wanted to go in the water. Watching her running on the open beach is hilarious. She digs in the sand and seems to be enjoying getting dirty. Except for the insects, it is quite lovely and relaxing. Okay, it's rather noisy also, but that's just part of Mexico.
