Road Trip - Dia Quatro II


The road south was nice, cool and empty and we stopped at a little roadside food place just beyond our first toll. My first real meal in Mexico and I didn't know if it was fatigue, not eating well or whatever but it was great and I was happy to have real Mexican cooking as a fuel source again. The road south was much better than road the previous day and again we made good time glad that we pushed on the extra couple hours the previous night regardless of being kicked out into the dark that morning. Eager to get the final day over with we were glad to see distance road signs letting us know we were making progress. The last city we had to go through was Tepic(see photo above). Crawling with Federal Police and tight traffic, the state of Nayarit's capital city had the most beautiful backdrop of green mountains and farmland. A couple hours later on a twisty road and we had reached our destination. SAYULITA! Not more then one minute in town and John was already running into people he knew. Josh, known for he and his wife's fitness business called Mexifit, greeted us just as we entered town. We were able to contact the property management folks and get a key for the house and were escorted to our home for the next 10 months. The Land Rover struggled to get up the concrete cobblestone road, and slid a couple times trying to find it's footing. So much weight but this is what the LR was designed for...I hoped. Just a minute or so later we summited and pulled into our driveway and saw the view we knew from the photos we had seen. John turned to me and said "Ashley is gonna love this" Let's hope so 'cause it's home now. We made it!
