Yes, it is a Happy Halloween because our RV is on our site in La Penita! We got in around 11:30 a.m. after an early start since the opal sellers didn't open until 10:00. We will have to go back another day.
La Peñita
The drive down the mountains from Magdalena was not for the faint of heart with signs warning of 23 km steep runs down twisting turns along with semis, super buses and the usual broken down cars along the way. One must always plan for a dead car in the middle of the road, or an old man on a bicycle, or a cow, or a tope by vendors or ... you get the picture. All this whilst driving through spectacular scenery and encroaching vegetation overhanging the road such as 10 ft grasses, vines, and a tropical canopy trimmed by the semis and RVs. The shade hides many things including the potholes so as Cam says you just have to eat it. Generally though the road was good.
