JAN 29, Saturday, Mazatlan, clouds/sun
A much warmer day! Dave & Louise went shopping in town and so did we with Al & Brenda. We got drinking water, some beer and a few groceries. We read for the rest of the afternoon then it was happy hour. We went to “Brouha”, a restaurant we went to the first night we arrived here. The food was excellent and so was the service. We talked to the lady that first introduced us to “ZIPLINE”, and made arrangement to go do it on Tuesday. It is an all day affair and everyone is looking forward to it. We came home and had a fire and a few more drinks then it was bed time.
JAN 30, Sunday, Mazatlan, sunny,
Val got up with a hang-over this morning...wonder why! Louise, Dave and the kids went to Juarez and El Centro markets. Al & Brenda went to the beach with Daisy; I washed the truck and Val eventually did the laundry. It is very warm today; our thermometer shows 25*C outside.
When everyone was home, we had a quick drink then went out to “Fat Fish” for ribs and called it an evening once home again. As usual, the ribs were delicious and we had fun. We walked to “tres Amigos” for a drink but it was just loud so we decided to come home.
JAN 31, Monday, Al’s BIG 65!
Happy birthday to Al...He’s 65 today and can now claim his “old person pension”!!! Hihihihihihihi!
Well, today we went to San Ignacio, another historic and old Mexican town. It was a 95 km (60 miles) drive on Hwy 15 and then hwy 6. As we came in to town, we crossed the Arch and a very long bridge. We parked near the town square and visited a hotel where there was a picture taken in the 90’s showing a huge flood of water flowing under the bridge; very impressive! We walked with lots of people around; it seemed to be a day off although the little shops were open. We found a restaurant where we had lunch. It was kind of neat as they didn’t have a menu so the lady proceeded to tell us what they had. Of course, with our limited knowledge of Spanish, it was a struggle but a lot of fun to understand and order our meals. We did and it turned out to be very delicious. Prices were very reasonable too.
We walked more of the town, visited the church which was in need of repair then the crew walked up a road then stairs to a huge statue of Christ up on the hill. Dave and I went back to the truck and drove up the hill to pick up everyone then we headed out. Dave and his crew wanted to stop in El Quelite and we, Brenda and Al and us, went on back to Mazatlan and home. We had a few drinks and Dave’s crew finally showed up so after a quick drink, we headed into town via a taxi to La Canoa where we had dinner and celebrated Al’s sixty fifth!
The day was quite cloudy today but it was warm in the mountains and cool near the water. Another month gone by!
