On our first night out from La Manzanilla we stopped at a Pemex gas station for the night. However, Dad was unable to sleep so Dana accompanied him as he hobbled about the parking lot trying to get his breath back. It so happens that the Mexican Federal Police complete with their heavy duty automatic rifles had also gathered. Naturally, they inquired and to our surprise, they bent over backwards like melted butter to help us. The Federal Police invited us to follow them to the Community Hospital of San Juan De Los Lagos to get oxygen. From there, the Federal Police also escorted us into the Emergency Room and made sure Dad was seen right away (the Doctors did not speak English). They even sent for an officer "Pepe" who spoke English and had him hang around most of the night to assist us in any way he could. So, consequently we received the "red carpet treatment".
If you guys ever read this, know that we really appreciate your actions in helping us especially when Dad was in misery. It won't be forgotten! Thanks again!
We ended up staying two nights in the San Juan Hospital. Dad had run out of oxygen and was unable to buy more until Monday morning so he was able to get oxygen from the Hospital at night to help him sleep. Between the two days we camped outside and watched a series of soccer games.

Dana did get a few photos in San Juan De Los Lagos but they do not show much of the center of old San Juan which is very interesting.
