La Pesca, our first night in Mexico

From the border it took us about 5 hours to get to La Pesca, a fishing village of no particular character on the Gulf of Mexico. But along the Soto La Marina river, there were a series of country homes (some very elegant) and hotels.

A guidebook indicated that the Villa del Mar hotel had places that RVs could camp very inexpensively, so we tried them. With solar panels on Cando (our motorhome) and plenty of water in our tanks, they only charged us $6 a night. A peaceful spot. We got our internet satellite dish working (will be blogging about that soon)

...and sat back to enjoy the sunset. We liked this spot so much that we stayed a layover day there.
