Teotihuacan is one of those places that we visited briefly when we passed through in 2001. Coming back this time meant spending more time in the community and at the archeological site. The RV park in the town of San Juan Teotihuacan is a comfortable place to relax and stay a while. The grassy field … More Teotihuacan- pyramids from our past
Some of the places we visit have been suggested by other travelers or by folks along the route. But the stop at Tolantango made our list several years ago.

One of the most exciting aspects of our frame mounted camper is the additional storage we gain. By removing the truck bed and adding a lightweight aluminum frame, we have no bed rails to take up space. Storage boxes will fill that space. If you are confused at this point, just click here and go … More Storage boxes- they’re “YUGE”!
WOOD SHOWER MAT– Anyone with a fiberglass shower unit knows that the floor always feels a little crackly and possibly weak. We found a tip that suggested a bamboo or teak wood mat to distribute the weight. We located one at World Market that fit perfectly.
