Well the sat nav took us for another detour through the old town today. The road we took was marked on the map as a yellow road which is a major road. We later looked at google maps and found that the road we should have taken was in the opposite direction onto the toll …

Matehuala to San Miguel de Allende
Some days you are just not thinking too straight. We changed our minds late last night and decided not to stop at Gogorron for the hot springs. The resort looked like it catered more for hotel guests than rv’ers and I thought we could catch up with hot springs another time. The result was that …

Cedar Falls, Iowa. Picking up the camper
We got into Cedar Falls fairly late in the afternoon and really just got some dinner at the local Buffalo Wings Bar and went to bed at the local Inn. It rained for a fair portion of the drive and we were glad we bagged all our gear in oversized garbage bags to keep it …

Maybe even better. It was melt in the mouth, flavoursome and huge. Sally suggested we should save some for Lucy. I suggested …
