This was farm country with miles and miles of corn fields as far as the eye could see. And, yes, tomatoes:
We got into Alamos around 3....we think. There's been another time change it seems. We pulled into the park and started to park when a worker said they were closed! Nooooo! Nice lady owner/manager came out and said that she was closed because of electric problems. We talked and it came out that she was really just fed up with brethren RV'ers this season. After I convinced her that we'd be nice and not complain she let us stay. Seems this season was full of folks complaining about everything, mainly to get free or cheap nights. She had lots of stories. I believe her since I see RV'ers bragging on forums about how they badgered the owners into lower prices, when the parks here are about half of US prices! But these will be the first people to whine when RV parks close. The electric is a little high (132 volts per my VOM) but not bad. It is very steady.
After we got settled we walked to the nearest restaurant and had a great meal. We're back in Mexico after all that Mazatlan tourist stuff!
Alamos was our first non-beach RV park experience in Mexico! We spent hours walking the streets and finding little coffee shops. I spend a long time in the main square talking to a shoeshine guy about Mexico, it's history and it's people. It was a great experience and encouraged us to get away from the coast to expolore the interior. Nice photos, as usual!
ReplyDeleteWish it would cool down a bit so we can do that. The thermo says 105.9 but that may be a little high, but not much. Assume you were talking to the shoeshine guy whilst Norma was buying shoes?:-). BTW, the shoeshine stands in every city is something I haven't commented on. There are dozens in the square of the tiniest towns it seems.
DeleteThose shoeshine guys go a great job. I took my cowboy boots to one once and they came away gleaming. He spent about a half hour on them for 70 pesos.
