Merry Christmas From Valle de Juarez

Sending this from my cell phone with a very small screen.  Don't expect miracles.

 We started out on Sunday from SMA taking the lead to Salamanca.  We stopped and Jerry and Paula took over.   We stopped a couple of times for a potty break, fix a quick bite to eat, and then on to Valle de Juarez.   Nothing much to report from the road.

Things are as usual, we did some libres and some toll roads and some were great and others not so great.

We arrived to the rv park around 3p.m. and got settled in.  Chema charges 1400 pesos a week including electric.   We really don’t need the electric and may negociate for just a primitive site.

The bathrooms are excellent and in new condition and there is a laundry room for wash. 

Last night we celebrated Barb and Sal’s 46th anniversary with a big party at their house with family, friends, and expats from all over who now reside in Valle and Mazamitla.   It looks like Mazamitla is really becoming a grand tourist attraction and was recently named as another Pueblo Magico.

This morning we headed out to La Cocinita for breakfast around 9:30 but not before I got in my morning exercise.  Lots of people from all over were there.  The waitress that they opened at 6 a.m. and were greeted by customers who had been out the night before doing some pretty heavy drinking.  All was good because they are doing a great business.
After we walked around the main plaza and some others did some quick shopping because tomorrow everything will be closed.   We had a late lunch with another large group of about 35 people at La Troje restaurant in Mazamitla.
