Los Mochis/Topolobampo

Los Mochis/Topolobampo

On the road again, we agree not to set our destination. Honestly there was no telling how far we could go. Somehow we ended up in Los Mochis. It’s a big city, although we still managed to draw attention to ourselves while driving downtown. We decided to drive to the ocean, but had no idea what we would find. We crossed marshes that bordered the road on either side as we admired the great sea life. Clams, fish, and vulture like birds flourished. Reaching Topolobampo we noticed that the ocean was as calm as a lake and that we were the only gringos around. This was a local hangout. There weren’t any hotels and we quickly decided to head back downtown after noticing Ivy limping in and out of the ocean.

After missing the only return ramp, Dorian and I decided to jump the center island on the main road to get back to our only hope for shelter. Luckily no policia were watching. We found a rather expensive hotel which was nice and clean so we decided to stay. We were puzzled by the private garages each room had. We were also confused by the fact that we weren’t given a room key and were not asked to fill out paperwork of any kind.

We were tired and enjoyed the AC the hotel provided and tried to find out what was wrong with our poor pups foot. Without a conclusion to Ivy’s injury, we went to sleep and dreamt of Dorian actually finding some waves to ride in the morning.
