New Addition To The RV

There wasn't much reaction to my last "satirical" post.  Too bad, it was a good glimpse of what is happening here in Mexico.  As you may have heard, "feminicides", a term not quite yet in the English dictionary, has become a hot topic here in Mexico.  Too many women and young girls being killed by men out of anger, passion, deceit, and sexual abuse.  Mexico will be having a national work stoppage day on March 9th in protest.  Our new government has decided that, because the problem is so big now in Mexico, that we should not separate feminicides from homicides and they should all be lumped together ignoring the real issue at hand.

On to the subject line.  Yep, things are returning to the way they were during our dark period 12 years ago, that is part of the new socialist regime taking place in Mexico.  Dark as it may seem, I am getting restless being here at home.  We have decided that the school calendar will allow us many three-day weekends, a two-week Spring break and then summer vacation.  Time to take the rv out and go somewhere.  The situation is much different when you have Mexican plates and a Mexican on board but we have decided to take the risk.

We purchased an upgrade item for the rv which I am sure you will be pleased to see 😀  It is a Thetford porcelain toilet purchased on sale from Amazon.  I got tired of having, to us a nice travel trailer, and a cheap plastic toilet that wobbles no matter what we did to tighten it, and it was a bitch to clean.  Now it's just like at home and our knees won't be in our chins.  I'm sure you're all thrilled and excited for us.

In the bedroom, we also have a lack of outlets.  On Amazon, I found a cheap and inexpensive lamp that fits perfectly on the narrow nightstand on one side of the bed.  Not only is it a shaded lamp but also has several USB ports but also two 110 outlets.  That works great for us.

Our travel trailer is officially 12 years old although we bought i new ten years ago.  I can't believe we have had it for that many years and we've managed to keep it in pretty good shape.  

We have one more house sit in SMA for a week.  We leave Tuesday afternoon and will take the week to relax.  The house is quite a ways out of town and up in the hills so I doubt we will leave the area but maybe once for a dinner with our friend Barbara.

Spring break we are considering going to Ecuador for 12 days, flying into Quito and then touring our way to the coast to Guayaquil and flying home from there.  But, we had so much fun last year in West Texas I would like to take the rv there.  Semana Santa in Mexico is a logistical and quite noisy nightmare.  But lets see.
