Mexico starts her season early this year

Tropical depression Two-E hanging around the Pacific Coast. We’ve had rain and cloudy days for a couple days now and more in the forecast. It might sound refreshing, but what it really means is a boom in mozzies and air you can see. Humidity at 95-100% with weather in the mid 80’s makes for hot work in the garden. We’ve made amazing headway in the garden, hope to redo the sewer pipes and get electricity to the palapa in the next week. Dino, the palapero has had one guy digging holes but has been absent for the last few days he’d promised he’d be here. Such is Mexican time. We’ll probably just have time to get the palapa righted and ready for the trailer; we’ll do construction of the bodega and comedor when we come back in the fall. Right now our tenative plans are to stay here until end June, head up to Texas and Colorado for July, August and September meandering through Wyoming and Montana to have October in the Bay Area. Then boogie back to PaaMul for winter and spring and whatever comes.

    Maybe we can come for a visit when you are in California?

    October in the Bay Area sounds good. We’ll be there Oct 16 or so. We’ll also be in the Bay Area 2 weeks or more in July.

    love, papa

    that weather sounds horrific. I’ve always had this romanticized-notion that it would be more temperate down there. LOL

    Hay,
    If you all go by Moab Utah let us know. We will be there mid June though Aug. 1st boondocking on the Mesa. Plenty of room for the kids to run and we will have Our ATV with us for rides.

    We’re here in eastern OK until late June - maybe later if politics plays out and the election is put off a few weeks.

    Hope you all dry out. It’s been wet here for weeks - I still can’t get used to rain again, having had none for almost nine months.
