It’s about time we publish an update: it’s October 11 already, and hurricane Norbert makes us stop and wait, which gives us time for this update.
Mexico has been interesting so far: First, within 5 minutes of entering the country, I tore off a low-hanging coax cable with the nearly 10-foot high camper. Second, we couldn’t get a vehicle permit, because the office has been closed permanently (we are told we can get it later).
So everything is fine, really. Travels and campgrounds have been safe, and people always have been friendly and eager to help. Which is good, because this is quite a new experience for us. That’s it, we’re now watching the hurricane's progress on the internet.
