The good news: Yota is fine. She just needed a new hose for her power steering. She got an oil change, and a check up, including having her suspension system checked over. It cost about 60 bucks altogether.

The bad, I’m a few days behind schedule. And I’m spending more money than I would like. One big problem is the tolls. Any road that will get you somewhere in a reasonable amount of time costs big bucks.(about 12 1/2 cents a mile) Gasoline. You have to pay. It’s a little less than we pay, but that will rise the farther south we get. The Peso suddenly got a little more expensive, but that may just be Mazatlan. Hotels and food are not expensive by our standards. As long as you go Mexican.

Tomorrow at 6:00 AM We’re off in the direction of Puerto Vallarta. Another place that doesn’t interest me more than a little. I’ve decided to take my time and stop to absorb it all and to stay off the toll roads as much as I can. To just barrel down the toll roads would be like seeing the U.S. from the Intertsate Highways.

That’s it. Nothing of interest. Got car fixed. Did Laundry. Blogged. Ate at Burger King. Walked around a Wal Mart. (Waiting for car) Drank my one beer. All stuff I could have done at home.
