We're still slowly coming back south along the Pacific coast to be at the camera repair shop tomorrow. We´ve been told by a respected PV photographer to ask for Carlos and hope he can fix the digital. Otherwise, these blogs are all in black-and-white!
So today we're in Bucerias, which means The Place of the Divers. There are a lot of oysters and other shellfish at the street stands ---- maybe the divers get them still??
Finally found a car ''cruise'' --- where car guys gather with their wheels to show 'n shine. This one was a VW-only show. The VW bug was made in Mexico long after production had stopped elsewhere, even in Germany! So there were customized bugs, camper vans, and assorted Rabbits, Foxes, and Ghias. The bugs were in the majority, with custom wheels/paint/velour interiors/ and decals that said things like ''Jeans'' (guess what colour that was?) or ''Fish and Dog'' (no idea what that was about). For a car guy missing his red ride at home, any cruise is a good cruise.
Also, I got to talking to the Mexican owner of the little place we're staying --- Arturo. He was able to prove to me that he drove a car carrier for Ford, between my home town Windsor and Detroit, in the 1960's!! It's quite possible that he drove right by me as I walked to school, admiring the shiny new Galaxie 500's or funny little Falcon Rancheros he was delivering. Small world!
