Back to the Beach

Semana Santa is over so the beaches are available again. we enjoyed Puebla/Cholula but we never really got over the altitude.  So, we departed at 0900. What a trip! 313 miles to Villahermosa on what should be good roads since they are mostly toll. Wrong. Over half the route was pretty rough. We did not stop until 1700 so if you do the math, we averaged 39mph and only stopped once for gas! And for this privilege, we paid $130 in tolls (motor home plus the Jeep we tow).  Well, the scenery was great, we saw an area that needs to be examined for more long term habitation, we drove slow so it wasn’t too bad, and we arrived safe.  Oh…we didn’t see the campground we were looking for so stayed in an expensive one:

Wally World Sam's

I say expensive because we bought lots of supplies at Sams. It was a good evening…the only concern was getting out because of tight turns. By the way, Sam’s (and Wally) are just like the ones in the States. Same stuff plus they sell booze. Even found pretty good bagels!
