A wee glimpse into Semana Santa

I was more into a point and shoot mode this week and now that I look at my photos I am sad. What I was hoping to see did not transpire. I am getting closer to ditching my iPhone and going back to my camera for what I want to see on my blog. The photos here are just a glimpse of this special week.

Fortunately the high tide turned into a perfect beach for those traveling here to enjoy their annual Easter vacation on the Isla.

The purpose of this photo is to show you that the lifeguards have a special tool at their disposal this year. On the right in white is a lifeguard seated on a see doo and he is using it to herd these folks closer to shore. It has been fun watching him zip back and forth along the shore. However I think he is have the best time ever.

Lots of various watercraft.

Personally I think there have been less folks on the beach but others disagree. Most days have been overcast but usually the sun comes out for a few hours in the afternoon. Friday I counted 3 banana boats on the water and 12 sitting on the beach! But today most were zigzagging back and forth. Hopefully the local restaurants will do well this week. It has been a difficult year for them.

Mazatlan has been very busy.

I think it was Thursday night there was a spontaneous party and the streets and to be shut down to traffic.

Mexicans certainly know how to party.

I was very happy with the sunset this evening.

About 2 minutes after getting back into the RV I had a look out the door and ran  ( well walked fast ) back to my special place.

The colors in the sky changed quickly. The Baja Ferry never sailed this evening – at least not as of 8:30PM

Just one of the many party boats crossing in front of the ferry.

Perhaps tomorrow I will take a bit of a walk along the shore. I had a medical treatment on Wednesday that created an allergic reaction and I have been homebound. No worries, I am already up and about again. This is different Semana Santa for me this year but I am so happy to call this home.

Happy Easter to you all.
