      Another interesting sunrise to begin yet another warm day. A nice walkabout on a mild morning, then at 9 am Suzie had the laundry sorted so I took it to the laundry mat here in the park. Now have my shorts on to enjoy this nice warm weather.
         Laundry folded and home by 10:30 Suzie put it away, time for a light tasty lunch and before noon a wonderful 75 F . yup this is the spring weather we have been patiently waiting for.
love these amazing sunrises here in the desert
     Then a bit later checked our tire  pressures, stored our Weber Q. topped up our fresh water and drained our sewage tanks, ready to hit the road in the morning. Been here 2 weeks got the hitch itch again so moving slowly down the road in search of more warm weather and sunshine. Gotta be home in 43 days and don't want to rush.
    Enjoying some afternoon reading in the shade with only a slight breeze was perfect.
more interesting fallen down homes here in the desert
if we only kew about their history           
     An afternoon drive and did find some desert wildflowers around the area.

      Back home to enjoy our page turners for a while no intense sun but still comfortable at 78 F. In the shade.
          Shortly after 3 pm Ron joined us for Happy Hour, with a NEW CHAIR, they went shopping at Walmart to today for a replacement,. a nice reclining chair for about 15 bucks.
Ron's new chair
and it ,reclines nicley
     We flapped out gums for a while , exchanged tips and information as we always do. then soon time to whip up supper.
      Tonight a nice treat some muscles  in Tomato Garlic butter sauce . A quick and easy meal to add to our salad.
these were very tasty
this sure hit the spot another treat for us
       No visible sunset tonight so no picture. Posting this blog outside at 6:45 pm still 67F and no wind. not too shabby at all.
       But this is done we enjoyed a wonderful day. Gonna call it a night and head inside to watch the tube for  a bit and call it a night.
       In the morning we heading on down the road, to enjoy another wonderful desert spot we enjoy.

       Shortly after 9 am we mad the 5 minute drive to Algodones Mexico  just because we could and son close to us.
heading into Mexico
yes a touristy place but we have fun here

       We decided to wanted through some of the familiar vendors we know, nothing we need or want but always fun to carry on with these guys. And look ya never know!
        The we have to check out the Snowbird Alley to watch the painters for a while.
these guys are amazing
     Then just around the corner a nice small restaurant we thought maybe a tasty Mexican breakfast. So that is what we did.
Poncho playing some very nice music here
a nice quiet place for a tasty breakfast
a very nice place for reasonable tasty food
the menus we like
nachos and chips to start
some nice hot sauces for me
breakfast Burrito for Suzie
for me Chorizo, eggs, refined beans, salad and flower tortillas
   We enjoyed a very tasty breakfast only 4 bucks each and more than we could eat.
     From here across the street and pick up 2 lbs on fresh very large shrimp from Rocky Point Mexico, This shrimp we always love and stock up when when we can.
picked up 2 lbs here 10 bucks a pound
for amazing shrimp
huge prawns on the left, we prefer the smaller large shrimp on the right
      From here we mad our way back to the border crossing at 10:30 later than planned but we had a tasty breakfast that we loved.
getting busy here now time to go home

        We got back home just after 11 am and getting pretty hot yahoo! Then I made a quick tip to Yuma for a few more supplies before we hit the road on Wednesday morning.
        By 1 pm back home it was 80F and sunny with next to no wind this is the weather we do enjoy here at this time of year just a little late coming.
nice that we have this tree here  for some shade
this intense sun is way too hot
          At 3 pm Kim and Ken came by for Happy Hour and shortly after Ron and Loree joined us.  This very nice chair here has from Margarita Ville caused him a problem yesterday . Looks like he  needs to go on a diet maybe? 155 lbs too heavy for this chair?? Maybe now  a porta potty???
hey he is still walking so he did survive
        Our Happy hour today with Kim.Ken , Ron and Loree ( her back is slowly getting better)
conversation flowed as usual,
saying se ya laters to Kim and Ken

     Then time to whip up supper , Freddy dropped by to give Suzie a doggie fix and she chatted with Ron for a bit.
      I put the fish on the grill  5 minutes a side to go with our salad, as the sun was setting and a bice sunset it was.

     Just another fun desert day and enjoy our trip to Mexico.
