Nobody said this was going to be easy.

It is with a heavy heart that we send you this most recent update...
As this is being written, four of our travelling companions are waiting at the airport to go back to California. I know it´s been a long time since this was last updated so let me go back a little bit.
After we left Oaxaca city we travelled south to reach the ocean again, this time the Pacific. Through a series of coincidences we came to rest in an incredibly small town called San Augustinillo. This town has approximately 2-300 residents and abutts a little cove. The weather is fantastic, the ocean is warm and the surfing is perfect (just ask our new surfer friends). The first place we parked our RV here happened to be the only place it would ever need to be. We pulled up next to an empty summer resort and have had the good fortune to stay there, making use of whatever amenities were available: hammocks, lounge chairs, thatched palapas... We had expected to stay here only a few days but that has turned into almost three weeks, and likely will be slightly over three weeks by the time we leave. (Feel free at this point to curse the inadequacy of the United States Postal Service, we sure are).
About a week ago the owner of the resort came back to make repairs before high tourism season begins again. He is a really great guy and befriended us immediately. We pitched in with the repairs and he's bought both food and coffee for us in exchange for our labor. Ultimately though, we hit a snag.
You all know we've been waiting for money, and it still hasn't come (well, actually it was lost in the mail... again cursing USPS). We have been surviving hand to mouth since we got here, exchanging our extra clothes and jewelry for food and water. The dogs however are allegic to things like corn and poultry so we were still compelled to buy their food. Even with our best efforts their health drastically declined. Ladainian lost 20% of his body weight and Isabelle got an infection from the ticks in the sand. Because Liz is a loving and faithful pet owner, she made the incredibly difficult decision to put her own desires aside and take the dogs back to the States where they can fatten up again and get proper pest control. She and Jahsiah left with the dogs this morning.
So now we are two. Tracey and J (in Mexico Lupita and Jack) will bravely forge onward. We have reached the decision that we will sell Rollando. He was great for four people and two dogs but extremely excessive for just the two of us... and talk about the cost of gas! So, we're backpacking and taking busses the rest of the way, taking time to see all the sights in the Yucatan and beyond. We are still being safe and all, so we ask that you not worry excessively for us. We will be in Costa Rica later rather than sooner, but we will still be there. Probably in time for New Years... anybody want to join us there?
Time is money on the internet here, so we gotta run, but the updates will comtinue. We can still eat even without money because the locals all know us after three weeks and a couple restaurants and the internet cafe have graciously let us open a tab to be repaid whenever we get that money. Love to everyone out there in cyberspace.
Sincerely,
Just the two of us (kinda like that Will Smith song)
Lupita & Jack
