from Los Mochis

Another blessedly uneventful drive to Los Mochis.  It's been a long day but we are tucked up in a very nice hotel ~ Zar's ~  a chain that has lots of hotels throughout Mexico.  Clean, roomy, very inexpensive.  Dinner somewhere, perhaps, or we'll dine "in" on the chicken we bought in Tepic along with our illegal greens (you can't bring fruits or veggies into the state of Sinaloa from anywhere else.  They have the California state of mind; everyone else's agriculture is tainted) and a nice bottle of that yummy New Zealand wine.  Next message will be from San Carlos.
