I am curious, when you are negotiating for these parking spots, are you doing that all in Spanish? You've mentioned that your Spanish is not great, so I wonder how difficult these negotiations are. I am sure I'd stumble all over my words and not understand much of what they are saying, but your Spanish is probably better than mine!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572905521059358017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-78394692707501520342016-01-22T23:17:02.351-05:002016-01-22T23:17:02.351-05:00Yes, it is sad news about the Flamingo but they re...Yes, it is sad news about the Flamingo but they really never got many RVs there and on the weekends they would just get too busy with the hotel, the restaurant and any events that they may have going that they really needed that area for parking. We checked out the Juriquilla Inn just north of the city and it is not a viable place either. In fact it looks like they are also are getting out of the RV park business. The Walmart would work but you would need to enter from the side as the road leading into it right beside the bullring has a low barrier right near the end. Otherwise all we can suggest is finding a suitable hotel, restaurant or balneario with a large parking lot and then ask if you can stay and take local transportation into town.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-66996234902847767292016-01-22T12:22:36.079-05:002016-01-22T12:22:36.079-05:00Darn-- sad news to hear that Flamingo will no long...Darn-- sad news to hear that Flamingo will no longer be an RVing option for Queretaro.

We thought of her as we were crossing it but if you didn't use it, it would have been like trying to cross over the 401 and that wouldn't be fun.<br /><br />A $160,000USD is still be a lot here in Mexico but they did look like nice town homes. Yes, that would buy a very nice RV but for us, we are really happy with Sherman and he serves our purposes perfectly.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-80181232508595719772016-01-21T08:41:53.125-05:002016-01-21T08:41:53.125-05:00Unfortunately that is the story through much of Me...Unfortunately that is the story through much of Mexico. RV parks by the ocean seem to do well but ones inland, not so much. It is really a shame because there is so much to see inland but many people who RV down to Mexico go to the coast and then find a campground and stay for the winter. Luckily we aren't tied to campgrounds so we always find somewhere to stay.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-82876617504292840662016-01-21T07:42:09.793-05:002016-01-21T07:42:09.793-05:00Interesting adventures are always a lot of fun.Interesting adventures are always a lot of fun.our awesome travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031755671050584629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-15983962834744986632016-01-20T23:09:04.765-05:002016-01-20T23:09:04.765-05:00Thanks for writing about the good and the bad.
