Progress report on Igor

We moved Igor over to the body and paint shop at 7:30am on Monday morning. We hadn't discussed with the guys what time they would get started, but we figured we would have him there before they opened, just in case they got started right away.

And there were pretty much right on schedule as they got working at about 9:00am!

Thinking about Starlink Satellite Internet

Actually, we're not only thinking about it, we've decided that we want it! There's only one thing stopping us.

Back to Mazamitla

There is a restaurant in Mazamitla called "La Troje". We've been there many times, and have never had a bad meal. We've never been there for breakfast, but Sue and Roy have and they highly recommended it. So the four of us hopped in their car and we went to Mazamitla for breakfast.

Slight change of plans!

Yesterday morning we moved Igor from the campground over to an empty lot beside Sue and Roy's place. 

Along the way, we stopped in town at another auto body and paint shop to get another price on painting Igor's fiberglass cap.

Off to the dentist, and good news!

Yesterday was dentist day!

We've been going to Dr. Lissette Gomez here in Valle de Juarez for quite a few years. She's really good, and of course we get charged the same prices the locals pay. Nobody likes going to the dentist, but at least the reasonable prices make it bearable!

Invited to a fiesta!

We went for a walk into town again yesterday afternoon. There's another body and paint shop we wanted to stop in and talk to, and we had to buy a birthday present because we were invited to a fiesta!

Igor makes another visit to the mechanic.

Roy and Sue came over at about 10:30am and we had Igor ready and waiting to go for a drive. They left their car here at the campground and we all piled into Igor to head to the body and paint shop at La Manzanilla de la Paz.

It’s only about a half hour drive... almost half way to the shoreline of Lake Chapala.

So, what are we thinking of having done to Igor?

Our friends headed out yesterday morning, so we're on our own here at the RV park in Valle de Juarez. We'll still be seeing Sue and Roy over the week though, in fact we might even be staying with them for a couple of days while Igor gets some work done!

All depends on if we decide to get the work done, and how long it might take.

Earthquake!

We were both woken up just after 2:30am this morning due to an earthquake. Ruth had got up to go to the bathroom, and when she returned I said "I think we just felt an earthquake". And she agreed. I checked my phone, and sure enough the epicenter was about 170 kms away at the coast near Tecoman, Colima.

News reports say that it was a 6.2 magnitude.

Whiskey's tree

It seems like such a long time ago now, but when we first set out in the motorhome in 2007, we were traveling with our dog Whiskey.

Whiskey was our family pet. She pretty much grew up with our kids, and she had been part of our family since she was 8 weeks old.
