We are back from Manzanillo and it felt good coming back to familiar faces in our campground – I guess it’s really starting to feel like home here.
Manzanillo is only about 1 and ½ hrs. south of Tenacatita, and the roads are good. We actually were in Santiago, which is on the outskirts of Manzanillo, at the Tesoro Resort. It’s an all-inclusive resort – which was kind of nice for a break – and we met up with Doug and Janice and the crew who came down here for Megan and Mark’s wedding. It was a beautiful wedding on the beach – but I’ll leave it up to them to share their photos.
The Tesoro Resort itself is quite nice – but it was obviously not nearly full. Most of the people there were Canadians escaping the brutal winter weather. Here are a few photos of the resort and the beautiful sunset – I never get tired of those sunsets over the ocean!

Of course, there were the “rec” people at the resort, who gathered up the gringos to play volleyball, and hockey on the beach – and the “boom boom” music at the pool seems to be pretty standard. 
Our amigos will appreciate these pics from the night time show – doesn’t it all look too familiar!

Arturo and I renewed our vows on the beach –
NOT – ha ha, I can see some of you shaking your heads now thinking “Who are those people and what have they done with Art and Bev!!” (notice the golden bands!!)
I have been purposefully not mentioning much about the weather here – as we have been following the news from Canada – but it seems to be warming up in the west anyway, so that is good. We have had consistently warm weather since arriving in Tenacatita – it usually hits about 28 – 29 in the daytime, and cools off to 19 or so overnight. We have had a few days of very high humidity, which makes it really muggy, but those are days when we spend most of the time at the beach – the ocean is always good for cooling off!
Today we will head in to Barra de Navidad to meet up with Doug and Janice one more time before they head home to Victoria. Barra de Navidad is about half an hour from Tenacatita, and just a few minutes from Melaque. They are very different towns, though. Barra is much more “tourist” friendly, and seems very quaint – while Melaque has more of the Mexican flavor. We like them both – and feel very comfortable in either place.
Most people in the campground have plans to start moving on in the next month or so. We have decided to go to Villa Corona – which is on the outskirts of Guadalajara – around the middle of February. The RV Park there has natural hot pools, and it’s supposed to be very “therapeutic”. That might be good to get all the salt, sand and beer out of our system before we come home! We’ll stay there for a week or so, and then start making our way north.
