Road Trip


Saturday, Feb 21st - With our boat dreams shattered, okay, okay, overly dramatic, but still, we were bummed, and our boat surveyor gone until March 2nd, we were at a standstill. Our 3rd choice boats we didn’t want to make any offers on until the surveyor returned so, Road Trip! I thought it would be a nice mental break as well as a good opportunity to venture inland for a while. When, not if, we get a boat, we’ll be coastal for a good long time, and you know the saying, when life hands you lemons, just add vodka! Hey, that’s how I remember it.

Friday (February 20th, Happy Birthday Baetz if you’re reading this - Feb 21st) we pack up to go but realize we have way to much crap for a simple week long road adventure, so we delay leaving until Saturday. We shove most of our things into storage.

With suggestions from numerous sources, we head off first to Obergon. What a disappointment. It was suppose to be a modern city, a little nicer and bigger than Guaymas. Maybe so, but it certainly lacked charm. I ate dinner at Carl Jr’s, if that doesn’t say it all! At least the salad was fresh and crisp, and the Papas & Quesos was stellar (and a refreshing change from my choices of Mexican food). Next up, heading to Alamos. My expectations are high.
