Chacala, Nayarit, Mexico: arrived!

By Jack Brummet, Travel Ed.




After a day on the road starting at 6 am, we're finally in Chacala, settled into our beach house. It's wonderful. I'm sitting here at midnight watching the stars and listening to the surf rolling in. Good to be on the road with this gang once again. As much as I loved Colombia, it's good to be back in Nayarit with Keelin, 
SeƱor Daveed, and Mo.

about half a mile per hour.
