A Week in Mazatlán

The sunsets never failed to amaze.

I was very fortunate to have the chance to spend a week in Mazatlán, Mexico. I have never been unlike a lot of people I've talked to that said they were there 30 years ago.

Mazatlán is a very large city on the Pacific coast. There are so many high-rise condos which seem to be filled with Canadian, American, and Mexican citizens on vacation and full-time owners. There are also a crazy number of construction projects.

The colonial downtown is beautifully restored. There are even lights in the sidewalks to highlight the architecture.

We ventured to Observatorio 1873 for the sunset, drinks, funicular, and animal exhibits. We took wild rides in open-air pulmonia taxis. We also took advantage of the super cheap bus system.

We walked the beach. Played in the Pacific Ocean. Saw dolphins and even whales from the 12th balcony of the condo.

Big thanks to Susan, Bud, and our hosts Pam and Samantha.
