| Gorgeous quiet beach steps from our site |
When we arrived at La Parota on December 16th the park owner Juan Jose put us into a nice site in the middle row of the park. At that time, the park was fairly empty with probably no more than 10 sites occupied. Our site was nice and long with parking available in front and in back, giving us lots of room for the truck, kayak and all our other gear. We set up our site beautifully with a kitchen area and privacy/solar screens around the front and side.

After a couple weeks in that site we realized we’d prefer a site along the outside wall in either row A or C. Those sites allowed you to back in and gave more privacy than the middle row where people, dogs, goft carts, motorcycles and cars go by both in front and behind you. And, with nobody to the right hand side of us, we kinda felt like we were in a fish bowl. So, on December 29 when a site right behind us in row A opened up, we talked to Juan Jose and moved. What a difference! We now have more privacy. We also re-arranged the privacy/solar screen to completely shield the left hand side of the rig that is exposed to the sun all day. What a difference that makes to keep the rig cool.

With the truck parked in front and a wall to the back of us we get lots of privacy |

Our beautiful boy Heffay (aka ‘el Jefe’ or “the boss” en Español)
He’s two days shy of 9 months old in this picture |

We’ve also got room for the cat tent and tunnel for the boys to hang out in at the back of the site along the wall where they won’t be spooked by those passing by. We manoeuvred our collapsable dog bed inside the tent so the boys could be up off the ground. Alternatively they can also hide underneath if it’s too hot or if they are arguing with each other, lol. HeyZeus is wonderful in the tent, he comes when I call him and lets me pick him up and put him in the RV. HoseHey on the other hand, well although he comes when called, as soon as I unzip the opening he runs back into the tent out of reach. It’s a fun game for him, not so much for me lol! We’ve come up with some creative ways to get him out some involving the hose, others involving trapping him in a section of the tube and then unzipping the tube itself and dragging it to the door. The latest though is luring him to the end and then I step on the tube so he can’t run back to the tent. He’s cool with all that though, and is super relaxed when I open it up to bring him inside. That says a lot for how far HoseHey has come on this journey. Before we left Canada, he was almost impossible to pick up without getting clawed, punctured and bloody. It’s so nice to see how he’s progressed…he’s almost a normal cat now 😋

Oh, I almost forgot…in the last post I mentioned why we picked this park - because of the easy beach access for the kayak. See what I mean? Couldn’t ask for it to be much more perfect than that!
Well, I think that’s all for today. Now you can see where we’ve been living for the past few months and how incredibly beautiful it is. I’ve got a few more blog outlines I’m working on. We’ll see how successful I am in getting this blog caught up an updated a bit more regularly before I start to forget how amazing of a time we’ve been having!
Until next time / Hasta la proxima vez!
