Yesterday Adrian picked up a rental car! A 72 (ish) VW Beetle, probably built here in Mexico at the VW plant in Puebla. Here is Adrian's blog of the event:
"Frank picked me up this morning around 9:00 am to go shopping for a rental car. We ended up with an old VW beetle and cost us 2,500 pesos to rent for a week. Not sure if this was a good deal or a wise decision, but whatever, it will make things getting around a little easier. The VW is bit of a bugger to drive with my long legs. The pedals and gear shifter are crammed together and there is very little room for your feet to work the pedals. No power brakes or steering, but for the most part the car seems to run ok. I think it will be a lot of fun to drive around and help us to get around seeing more of PE. Saves us from walking in the hot weather, but now we won’t get our exercise anymore."
Today Eric arrives! We are really interested to get his perceptions of PE, the town itself is a bit dumpy, and the first impression is not all that great. Once you get to the beaches that all changes. The beaches here are from West to East:
Bococho
Carrizalillo
Angelito
Manzanillo
Marinero
Zicatella
Pointe de Zicatella
We haven't even seen them all yet! With Beetle juice (my new name for the car) we should be able to get to them all quite easily.
Yesterday we finally saw Pointe de Zicatella, this seems to be the young surfer's hang out. I have a feeling Eric will like this one the best, lots of beautiful girls there.
Manana mi Amigos!
