After overnight in a no frills rail yard it was time to begin the unloading process. The flatcars were brought to the unloading dock and the rails that they had put on the sides of the cars so that we could walk around were first removed. The ramps were added between the cars and the unloading began. You really had to trust the man leading you over the ramps and down the flatcar. You had only inches on one side of the coach before you would drive off the side.
We drove about 10 minutes to a campground where we rested up before being taken to dinner at a hotel in town. This had to be the best shrimp that I have ever had, and quite a few others voiced the same opinion. As downtown is also the "market" area a few ventured out to see what was available. Not much for us as either we didn't recognise it and couldn't read it in Spanish or had no place to put it. After dinner we all came back full and sleepy and all went to bed early as we'll have to be up early in the morning for our briefing and then we will hit the road for a 254 mile drive down to Mazatlan where we will camp for a few days. See you down the road.
