Sunny Mexico

We crossed into Mexico at Lukeville on Nov 20. We tried to get our visas but didn't realize it was a holiday so no bank open to pay for the visas. The custom offices were 100 km down the road! It looked like a new facility with easy access. We paid for our visas there and processed our import permits. The two check points, so far, just gave us a green light so no stopping or inspection.

 

Just past Santa Ana going North you can see the long.... line of vehicles waiting to get inspected. We could see at least 3 buses where the passengers had to get out and get their luggage for inspections. The drivers of the big rigs were out of their rigs and pacing. You could see they were wondering what the hold up was, as they couldn't see the customs booths. They were too far away.

We stayed in Hermosillo for a day to get a sim card and internet. It took all day! Went in am and got the paperwork done, then Telcel's system was down so couldn't activate the phone or internet. Then the lady we were working with went to lunch from 1 -3. Back at 3 and told she would be back a 3:30. So went back again at 4:00. It took another hour to get the phone up and running. Mexico time!

We are currently in Bahia Kino. We were lucky to get a site on the first row looking at the ocean. Nothing much here. The town is in pretty sad shape. Kayaking is great.

Not sure if these fishermen were using the umbrella as a sail or for some shade.
