We couldn't figure out what these white balls were that they were selling. We thought that they might be cheese but found out much later that they are oranges that have been peeled with a machete.

The restaurant and Pemex station where we had lunch. We were only about 3 miles from the RV park and didn't know it.

IMG_0257_edited-1
Big lunch crowd. Of course it was about 1:30 PM.

IMG_0258_edited-1
The motorbike driver that took pity on us when we took a wrong turn and ended up in the middle of town. He's leading us to TepeTepan Cabanas and RV park.

IMG_0259_edited-1
Almost there

IMG_0260_edited-1
It's hard to miss the turn if you're on the right road to begin with.
