Day 14, On to Palenque

After leaving San Cristobal, Chiapas, we needed propane and headed right to the propane station except after much discussion because the station only sold vehicle propane.  We decided to ask about where to buy their product & here is the instructions given. We had to pay the attendant the amount we thought we would need to fill our tanks. We had to make sure we filled our tanks that day because the receipt was only good for that day. We drove 12 miles to the propane gas plant on our way to Palenque and had our receipt. The staff was very nice and filled our tanks. They were very curious because they hadn’t seen RV Campers.  They had many questions for us. They were so accommodating that they even filled our camper water tanks. By then it was 10 a.m. before we were actually on the road. It was a long day with curvy roads and in the pines.  Some very interesting communities with many Native People in these smaller communities, and most of them on the road walking.  We were well received.   What the heck! friends and neighbors, will somebody contact the Mayor of Puertecitos and inquire as to when we will get electricity to our homes? They all seem to have electric, but laundry is still done along the road or stream. We arrived safely at Palenque 5:30 pm.
