Home in Livingston
We're back at our home-base at the Escapee's park in Livingston. Lots to do in the next week or so: get our income tax return completed, rake up about a gilzillon leaves from our Oak trees that surround the house, found the Dutch Star with a flat tire so that needs to be fixed, pay various bills that are due and get our pass ports renewed for future trips. That's just a few of the things on the list of things to do.
One thing we did notice is that its a lot colder here in Texas than it is in La Penita. Brrrr but we're already making plans and counting the days before we head south again.

Back in the U.S.A.
After four days on the road we're back in the U.S. We crossed the Columbia bridge near Laredo last night and will spend a couple of days at the Casa Blanca Texas State Park. We should be home Wednesday or Thursday.
Aside from being stopped a couple of times by local transit police looking for bribes for made up infractions, the trip was good. The SunSeeker ran well despite the weight we put in it plus having to pull the Jeep. It cost us 3,625 pesos ($284. U.S) in gas and another 2,792 pesos ($219. U.S.) in tolls.
All in all we had a great time in Mexico and are learning more and more about the culture and traveling each time we go. We're looking forward to next winter when we'll head south again. This time in the Dutch Star as although the SunSeeker ran well we found it a little small for two adults and two dogs to live in for three months.
Mexico Truck Stop where they charged 70 pesos (about $5.50 U.S.) to park over night and the cost included the price of a nice breakfast in the morning.

My new sombrero- 100 pesos (about $7.50)
