I was most fortunate to spend my birthday in Alamos. Joe grilled some shrimp mid morning which we then packed up and took out to his friends Rancho called El Caracol. The woman, Dee, who owns this 2000 acre ranch, is 91 years old. She and her husband bought the rancho around 1954 and then turned it into a 64 site RV park. She had the Wally Byam Airstream club stay at her place numerous times on their Central American Caravan trips. She steamed us up some tamales to go with the shrimp we brought and we sat out on her veranda and had a wonderful lunch together. I was amazed at how lucid she was, especially after she went for a walk with us around the rancho. Her Rancho is also for sale. After we left there, we went home for a while until we went back into Alamos for a birthday dinner. We went into the Hotel Tesoros, an old convent that was built 236 years ago. It was converted into a hotel and resturant around 1954. We had a wonderful meal and I was then serenaded by some Marriachi. I couldn't have asked for a better birthday!
Our trip ended all to soon and we headed back up to the states. Thanks to Jose for his wonderful hospitality. We hope to see you soon!
