In Search Of Surf
We spent the last couple days poking our way down the Pacific coast from Vallarta to Colima looking for surf. There was none. The ocean is flat. Not even the world famous break of Pascuales had waves. Nothing but Pro surfers lounging in hammocks drinking beer and smoking mota, patiently waiting for swell.
We enjoyed a couple nights of beautiful camping along the way. We spent one evening camping and talking with our new friend Rafiq. He was a kindred soul for sure.
We also safely passed around the town of Guzman, which is supposedly one of the nasty narco towns. We sailed through it without incident, although the Sprinter did receive his first full cavity search at a narco check point. Up until now all the searches have been quick and easy. At this one the military pretty much looked everywhere. Stevie was quick to remind me that this was why we NEVER carry anything illegal. A good family rule for sure.
Today we made our way up to Lake Chapala on the outskirts of Guadalajara. Tomorrow we may head to the town of Tequila. We're still not sure where we'll be spending Christmas, but it will most likely be around this area somewhere. Life is good. TREE

Adios Sayulita
We've been here for 5 weeks. We've enjoyed the hang, the people, the food, the packs of wild dogs, the great energy, the tequila bar, the roosters, and the occasional ola (wave). Its time to get back on the road, and we're ready.
Where we go from here... During the next month we’ll meander our way south through Mexico looking for surf and exploring the Mayan ruins and Colonial villages. We've considered the road conditions and the hazards. Our planned route through the rest of Mexico will go something like this….
Sayulita to Vallarta to Colima to Guadalajara to Tequila to Mexico City to Cuernavaca to Acapulco to Escondido to Oaxaca to San Cristobal to Palenque to Chetumal to Cross border into Belize
We'll hope to cross the border into Belize sometime at the end of January. We'll spend February and March working our way through Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua.
Looking back its funny that we originally planned only 2-3 weeks to travel Mexico. This country is way too cool to drive straight through. I've done plenty of vacations to Mexico in my life, but until you drive it you don't realize what a gem it really is. Below is our Mexico route. Blue is what we've done, Red is whats coming in the next month - TREE
