El Quelite

It was nice to rent a car and take a road trip to the quaint town of El Quelite this past week. Out of all the towns we have been to in Mexico I have to say that El Quelite is the most beautiful and pristine. Every home in this little Mexican town is painted a different color and the town square which is a trademark of any Mexican village has the most gorgeous and incredibly maintained garden. After walking around the village of El Quelite we had a wonderful lunch at a local cantina. The food was not only great but the cantina seemed to be more like a museum than a restaurant.
It is now mid July and although we had expected the weather to be almost unbearable, much to our surprise, it has for the most part been only in the upper 80's which has been very comfortable. The marina here is extremely dead but the town is still very much alive with activity (minus most of the gringos).
In another few weeks we will be leaving the boat and Mazatlan to return to the states for the entire month of August. During this month we plan to get Amanda set up in Prescott to start her new life as a college student. It will seem strange to leave the boat alone for such a long time but we will hire someone to look after the boat and keep our fingers crossed that no hurricanes hit Mazatlan while we are away.
