Tampico to Costa Emarelda

Had a quiet evening in the hotel parking lot. I think everyone was in bed asleep at 9 PM!

It took us 2 hours to travel 45 miles this morning, 9 hours total. Bad traffic and BAD roads. Then more bad roads and more bad roads. Lots of topes (major speed bumps) also slowed us down. We had 5 toll roads costing about 400 pesos (about $32).

I could not find Costa Esmarelda on any map but it is someplace between Tampico and Veracruze on the coast. It is a resort town that is very quiet right now -- I guess its off season. The RV park is fairly nice but the electricity was very iffy. Most plugs had reverse polarity and/or too much voltage, but the TG got that fixed. We are right on the beach which is a gray-sand beach (looks dirty but it's not).

Time to walk in the sand and look at all the stars!
