Blue snail II October 2015
It is a out time for a new blog post! I am blaming the delay on the computer. The truth!

San Carlos Nov 2014
Blue Snail is still in San Carlos. In September, we were fortunate to have the boat here as the remnants of Hurricane Odile passed by, about 75 miles away. This was the storm that was devastating to Cabo San Lucas and La Paz on the Baja side of Mexico. Winds here in San Carlos were about 35-45 for [...]

June 2015
June finds us still happily in San Carlos. Frank is still working on the van conversion of Blue Snail II and it appears that the end is in sight! We will not, however, be departing Mexico on schedule in June as expected…..more like late July or so. (or so?). Anyway, we have no complaints as we get to enjoy Mexico for a little while longer.
We traveled to Los Alamos in April for a 4 day get-a-way. What a fabulous trip! This small colonial town is in the mountains and in the southernmost part of Sonora. We were not able to find much information about the town before we went, so did not know exactly what to expect. What a wonderful surprise is was with lots of restored colonial buildings, houses and churches and beautiful squares. We found it very friendly and safe and not touristy. We had selected the Hotel Colonial for our stay and truly enjoyed it. This 8 room hotel is newly restored and very nice and beautifully cared for by the very gracious hosts. Needless to say, we had a great time in Alamos.
Also in April we experienced our first Semana Santa in San Carlos. Really not much to talk about except for large numbers of folks coming to the beaches and then just cruising the main roads at night. And…lots and lots of beer drinking. Seemed like everyone was having a good time and for the most part avoided trouble.
The new owner of Blue Snail has come to San Carlos a few times since he acquired her and we have enjoyed his visits and the transfer. We are very pleased that we will be able to follow the new adventures of Blue Snail.
Moshe the cat is fine. She has a new “special friend” in the form of a gecko who has taken up residence in our hotel room. We see him most nights but not for the last 2 or 3. Wonder what happened to him?? Again, good thing the cat can’t talk.
Finally, we are planning one more trip to Arizona for the last needed supplies to complete the van. Possibly, and hopefully, with the next blog post, we will be on our way to new and different adventures. More later.
