Mazatlan

Okay, I just realized that these are going to be posted in reverse order, so if you start reading at the top you'll be living our trip backwards! :) Oh well...



Mazatlan...our Wednesday stop...was a nice port, but our least favorite of the three. We took a fantastic walking tour though, of Old Mazatlan, where we saw the famous cliff divers, many of the older parts of town and even visited a little bakery in a lady's home! Our tour guide, being a resident of the town, was great at taking our group down little back streets to see some great parts of the town that we would have certainly missed had we just struck out on our own. After a stroll through the open air market, complete with raw chunks of meat all over the place and peddlers who practically come up and grab your arm to come in their shop, we took an open air taxi to the Zona Dorada. We shopped a little bit here, but again, the shop owners were a little too "pushy" for our liking! We grabbed a ride in a 'pulmonia' taxi and went back to the ship. Again we found our lounge chairs and enjoyed the sunset as the ship pulled out of port.
