Mexico South

[cabezon23]

I just finished unpacking the truck and camper, what an experience!
We (wife, 2 kids and dog) left on July 7th for a tour around southern Mexico.
Our start and finish was/is Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo (close to Cancun).
The total trip length was about 2300 miles in 17 days. Truck and camper behaved perfectly, even as the mileage in the mountains dropped to less than 10 mi/gal. The mountains in Chiapas and Oaxaca are beautiful, but steeeeeeeeeeeeeep with many many turns and twists.
I'll post pictures the next few days, for now I only got the map with our route.

The surf was gooood, in Puerto Escondido and Zipolite. The gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean coast don't have any waves, at least not without hurricanes.

We live in Playa del Carmen for now, just completed our first year down here.

I just got the pictures from both our cameras now on my computer, now I still have to re-size them so I can post them here. I'll be working on it.

Here are the first few.

Cabezon is the nickname I got a few years ago when working in Dominican Republic. It has something to do with my head, just don't know if it's related to its size or my "persistence", it could also be called stubbornness.
