Mazatlan 2015 Day 6 - The Airport
Found the above sign just before getting to the gate.
Mazatlan 2015 Day 6 - Last Morning
Friday, April 3, 2015
Feeling a bit melancholy on our last morning here. Got up and had coffee and Bimbo donuts on the balcony. We took a walk over to the Turtle sanctuary to visit Las Tortugas. They are incredibly cute. Did my morning beach walk. Cloudy morning. I'm gonna miss this.

Another Te-Amo for the hot tub...
The moon was beautiful...
From Dales blog for today:
"Our last full day in Mexico. It’s going to be hard to leave tomorrow especially with snow in the forecast for next week in Minneapolis."

"I am still a little annoyed with myself for forgetting to bring dress clothes for what would have been our big dinner out in Mazatlan, but we still had a lovely evening last night with barbecued chicken and stir fried vegetables followed by our ritual of sitting in the hot tub while Joe smoked a cigar (I’ll never understand the attraction, but he loves it)."
"I have to admit I’m fighting that little melancholy that comes as the end of a magical vacation approaches, but feel much more strongly the gratitude for being able to do a trip like this and the generosity of my cousin and her husband for letting us use this beautiful condo."
Mazatlan 2015 Day 5 - Last Full Day
Thursday, April 2, 2015
Dale and I took a drive out to Isla de Piedra (Stone Island). We had to drive on a bumpy gravely back road to get there. That was one rustic and authentic looking Mexican seaside town. We were looking for a restaurant called Letty's but weren't able to find it. Maybe next time. This town was definitely out of the bubble.
Dinner tonight a Los Delfines over at the hotel. We were there about 5:30 p.m. and were the only ones in the restaurant. We sat in the corner near an open door next to a speaker that was blaring loud 80's American music for the pool party going on outside.

Mazatlan 2015 Day 4 - Cocktails
Wednesday, April 1, 2015
Back at the condo, which I've now named nido de tortuga (nest of the turtle), we poured cocktails and sat on the balcony. I made a Tanqueray martini. There was no shaker in the cupboards so I made due with a makeshift one. Caught the sunset again. Always amazing. It's only when I see it dip below the horizon that I get the sense that the earth is turning. Dale grilled chicken breast for dinner. We also sautéed some asparagus.
Mazatlan 2015 Day 4 - Cows
Wednesday, April 1, 2015
While driving back to EDM we noticed a dog jump up into the middle of the road. He ran toward a truck which was moving very slowly just a bit ahead of him. A man was following closely behind the dog and the truck. Just ahead of them was a herd of cows trotting along. They moving by the entryway to EDM within a couple of feet. Above was one of the cows that wasn't quite caught up to the rest of the group.
Mazatlan 2015 Day 4 - Love Child
Wednesday, April 4, 2015
Lunch at La Paloma on the golf course. This time we got the shrimp ceviche to start. I got what Dale had last time, the mango glazed fish. Dale got the tuna. After lunch we drove in to the city for cigars and food. At the mall I discovered what I think is the love child of Señor Frog and Hello Kitty.
Mazatlan 2015 Day 4 - Beach
Wednesday, April 1, 2015
Regular morning routine. I'm sick of routines at home but I love the one we've fallen into here. Right now Dale and I are sitting under one of the thatched roof umbrellas out on the beach.

Mazatlan 2015 Day 3 - Cathedral of Mazatlan
Tuesday, March 31, 2015
Finally, before heading to Mega we stopped at the Cathedral of Mazatlan. Very beautiful. I got a lot of great pics. In the courtyard we came across a statue of Juan Diego revealing the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe to the priest. Dale didn't know the story so I filled him in.

Mazatlan 2015 Day 3 - Freeman Hotel
Tuesday, March 31, 2015
We drove into Mazatlan and spent a little time in the old part of the city. Our first stop was the Freeman Hotel which was recommended to us by John & Dianne. The hotel has a wonderful bar with a panoramic views on the 11th floor and then a pool and patio on the roof just above that. I ordered a pina colada and Dale had a beer. We also ordered a late lunch there. Dale had fish and I had shrimp.

Same morning routine as usual. I love drinking coffee on the balcony.

Walked over to the turtle sanctuary this morning. Was disappointed to find the turtles weren't there. A guy aaas cleaning their tank so I'm assuming they just moved them.
