Final Thoughts on Mohita and Mexico

We arrived back in Victoria to a couple of inches of snow on our deck and the spring flowers just beginning to bloom. It felt pretty nice to be home and to sleep in our own comfy bed and have a whole house to move around in. The dogs ran into the house as happy as can be and seemed pleased to be able to hang out in the back yard.

We've been back home for almost two weeks now and in some ways it's as though we'd never been away. Our tans are fading and we're immersed in the details of our life in Victoria again. But when we look in our driveway, there she is: Mohita, the intrepid adventurer. What a lot of mileage we put on her (over 13,000 km). She took us through 20 degrees of latitude to the south and then back again, climbing from sea level to over 8,000 feet on more than one occasion. She introduced us to a great number of people we'd have never otherwise met--in mechanic shops, on the road, and in RV parks. It was an interesting trip and as Sue said, our worst experiences have become our best stories. Mohita is our hero. She helped us escape from what sounds like one of the worst winters ever, and even though we probably won't be taking her that far south again, we've realized that there is an abundance of camping opportunities here in BC and we're going to take advantage of them in the warmer weather (if it ever arrives in Victoria).

As for Mexico, we'll be visiting there again. Probably next winter for a couple of months but we'll try driving down in the van and renting an apartment somewhere. That way everyone who wants to can come and visit us there.
