After crossing the border at Nogales we spent the night at the Mountain View RV Park near Green Valley, Arizona. It was a Sunday night and there was no staff on site but the instructions said to just pick a…
The Last Leg
Bouncing around Belize
We spent our first days in Belize in the town of San Ignacio. This was a relatively short stay but the highlights for us were a fabulous vegetable market and a wonderful French Bakery (with great cinnamon buns!). From there,…
