Mexico 2012 RV Trip - Day 31 - January 27, 2012 Xpu-ha

We woke up early to see the sunrise out our “bedroom” window, then promptly went back to sleep. It was very pretty, but much too early to rise and shine. Tobey woke again and noticed a “federales” truck parked next to us and the soldiers with their guns, so he went back to sleep. These are first we have seen in days. By the time we got up at 8, they were gone. Because this is such a nice beach we decided to stay another day.

It was very overcast this morning, but still warm so we took a nice long walk on the beach. There wasn’t much wind today and the air seemed much heavier. The clouds started to break up a bit this afternoon and we had patches of blue sky. It was hot enough, however, that we had to take a dip in the water in order to cool down. We have access to the cool water showers so we utilized those to get the salt water off.
We saw a couple with two little Chihuahuas. One of them wanted NO part of the water and stayed on their beach blanket. The other one wanted to be with his owners, but every time a wave came in, he scurried back to dryer territory. He finally made it out to where they were standing in ankle deep water and wanted to be picked up. You could tell the dog was saying, “Come on, would you, ? I came this far! PLEASE?!” When they didn’t pick him up, he raced back and joined the other one on the beach. It was pretty funny.


We have been careful not to get too much sun – don’t want to look like a boiled lobster. Yes, Mom, we are wearing sunscreen.

It started raining here about 6 tonight so we are watching for leaks, but it seems to be okay. Tomorrow we will head south to the Costa Maya area to check it out.
GPS 20.47185°N, 87.25854°W and still loving it!

That area of the coast is a known drop off area for drugs. They are dropped from boats and picked up on the shore. The police get there early to either pick them up first or grab the guys picking them up. If you see a waterproof bag rolling in the surf, walk the other way.

Someone in Paa Mul found one a couple of years ago and brought it back to his RV where he discovered it was a couple of pounds of cocaine that did not belong to him. He had a bit of explaining to the Federalis after he called them.

Oh my gosh! We have never been known to be early risers so we won't be first to the beach - and certainly won't pick up any stray packages! Thanks for the heads-up.
