Things we've done and places we've been on this trip - Mexico 2009
Guanajuato 2010
We left Guadalajara at 8:45 and got in Guanajuato at 1:15 - 176 miles in four and a half hours. US$62 for tolls. The road was very good all the way. Managed to get out of Guadalajara without getting lost. From Lopez Mateos we took the Periferico Sur to Lazaro Cardenas and then the signs towards Mexico City. Actually got all the way without incident.
The campground, Bugambilla RV, is the only one in the area that we can get into. It is about US$12 a day. Water and 15amp electricity are available at the sites. No sewer, but there is a dump. The electric is so bad our air conditioner won’t stay on. And it takes almost three minutes to heat a small cup of coffee in the microwave. Basically we’re sitting in a big field with one lone tree. But this time the grass is green, last year it was dead. There are about 7 other RVs here this time.
The weather during the day is nice and there is usually a wind by late afternoon. Evenings it still gets really cold here in the middle of March.
The first morning here it was COLD - in fact it almost looked like frost on the grass (probably just dew but I didn’t go out to check.) Looked at the outside temp and at 7:30 it was only 45!
We didn’t do much after getting here the first day we are slowly getting used to altitude - about 6200 feet.
