Here we are having to camp out for several months, but without a toilet! After several days of roughing-it, Sharon was ready to Head back to Portland and I was not that far behind. Camping for a couple of months we could deal with, we were well prepared; but using the outdoors for a toilet for two months was not going to work. On December 24th Sharon and I woke up and immediately decided we had to get a porta-potty. I looked in the English-Spanish dictionary, found porta-potty in Spanish, and as soon as the crew came I began questioning them. They all had a questioning look on their face and I know they want to ask "Why do you need a porta-potty, we've been using the the area behind the bushes for months." But they only said I should wait for Arturo.

We felt a little better because soon we would have a toilet. But it was Christmas eve, so we knew it would be days before we could get a porta-potty. There was nothing we could do. So we chilled and enjoyed where we were - camping on an ocean beach in Mexico. We sat and watched the surf, looked for whales, and sipped on a couple of Coronas. We were disturbed from our relaxation by the cell phone ringing. This was unusual, no one calls us in Mexico. It was friends Michael and Sylvia telling us they are driving down from PV on Christmas day and want to park their 30' trailer on our property. It turns out the trailer won't fit in front of their rental house in La Manzanilla. Life changed for the better after arrival of the trailer. Good karma! Great Friends!
