Villa Corona, MX

Hi guys, We are just starting this Blog. Hope it works out. It is a free blog service, so we'll see. If it works, let us know. We hope to keep you updated with pictures and info on our travels as time progresses, and as technology is available. We arrived in Villa Corona on Dec. 3rd. We paid for a months rent here at the trailer park http://www.chimulcotrailerpark.com/ . The nice thing about this place is that they give you a discount for a months worth of space, then you can come and go during the season. Never seen that before. Our travels so far have been really good. The Trek is working perfectly., especially since we got the AC fixed in Huntignton Beach. Luckily we had an insurance policy that paid for most of the repairs. We have averaged 8.6 miles per gallon. Fuel is $2.70 a gallon (give or take). Average temp is 80 during the day and 50's at night. Perfect sleeping weather. Last night we had dinner at a restaurant in the village "where mariachi began". We had a really good shimp dish and a hamburger and fries and 3 beers, cost was 120 Pesos, todo, including tip, thats about $9.00. Compared to a similar meal in Green Valley AZ at $68.00!!!! The lead singer was a short guy with a hugh mouth and voice to match. The band had 9 costumed men, and they were LOUD. We will head to the coast sometime after the new year. We will keep you posted.
