Very little current news here in Mazatlan, you all pretty much know more than we do.<\/p>\n

Sandy please let me know<\/em> if you have landed here, worried about you both.<\/p>\n

Plus the Canadian consulate reached out to those of us who are registered with them.<\/p><\/div>\n

A drug cartel is creating chaos in Culiacan, Mazatlan, Los Mochis and Gusave. The airports, schools, many businesses, most restaurants and sporting events have all been cancelled until further notice. The Canadian government has asked us to stay home until further notice. Even the local lancha between the Isla and Mazatlan was shut down for several hours today. Burning trucks blocked the entrances into Mazatlan as well as to our airport. There was shooting from the airborne government airships to the bad guys on the ground at the Mazatlan airport ( per King David ).<\/p>\n

\"\"

I have no idea how the news spread so very quickly. The mercado was shut down very quickly.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"

Centro and other parts of the city were shut down rapido.<\/p><\/div>\n

Click here<\/a> for a concise update on what is happening. Another article here<\/a>. This is the latest information I can get.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Wow, Soriana’s parking lot is empty.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Not much activity on the beach today.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

All entrances to Mazatlan were blocked off so no one could enter the city from any entrance especially the Federales, National Guard, etc.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

All of this chaos was because the government re captured EL Chapo’s son.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

This is the entrance off of HWY 15 to the Mazatlan airport. From the news article “after Guzman’s capture’s\u00a0they reinforce security at the exits of Mazatlan”.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

This is the exit to Isla de la Piedra enroute to the airport. The turning lane on the left as you look at the photo. The overhead sign on the left indicates a turn to the Isla.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Yet another block to the airport. As far as we can figure out the cartel wanted to control the airport so that El Chapo’s son could not be flown out of Sinaloa. We have read that he has been transported to Mexico City, we have no idea from where or how. All major airports as well as schools in Sinaloa have been shut down until further notice.<\/p><\/div>\n

We are more than safe. We are no where near any fires or gunshots. We did see a few military helicopters fly over earlier in the morning. We all feel very safe. However there were a few from RV1 who had gone into Mazatlan early in the morning and of course they could not get back.They did get back mid afternoon once the launchas started operating again.<\/p>\n

Colin even walked the girls twice today on the beach.<\/p>\n

Life certainly is interesting.<\/p>\n
