Two different visits to Mazatlan
Last Wednesday we headed into town to do some shopping. A tug positioning one of the Navy vessels.
A crew putting up the Christmas decorations in the Plazuela Machado.
This must be Santa’s Village in the plaza across from the Cathedral. Not open yet.
Lots of decorations in this plaza and very pretty at night when lit up. We stopped in this area to use an ATM.
Next stop the main mercado. This is where we buy our Santa Rita Chihuahua cheese. In my opinion the best of the best.
Still doing some renovations in the market.
Where we get our fish. Very fresh. We got some shrimp for a stir fry and dorado for a BBQ and it was the best ever.
Love her tattoo. It says that life is beautiful or wonderful. She always has a smile and a thousand words to share.
We got a newly renovated pulmonia on the way back to the embarcadero. Love the teal color.
Always great to be heading back to the Isla. The air is fresher. And so fun to watch what is happening in the shipping channel. Here a freighter is being positioned.
On our way to the pick up our laundry we ran into a grandmother and her proteges.
Three little ones on her ATV.
A quick stop at the local hardware store before heading back to the RV.
Friday was to have been Art Walk as well as the lighting of the lights at the Plazuela Machado. But because of the huge rain storm on Friday that was all delayed to Saturday, when we went into town. Love this candid shot of the cat.
We dined at La Bohemia.
Not only were the Plazuela Christmas lights turned on, but we were treated to a musical concert.
…and fireworks.
A children’s orchestra were performing in the kiosk. They were fabulous .
They even played Pachelbel’s Canon.
Then they stopped playing and formed a choir. Beyond amazing.
It was truly one of our top ten nights in the Plazuela. Once the child band finished and we moved on from our wonderful meal we came across my favorite band, Los Cryps. They are a rock and roll group that we have followed for many years. We danced non stop for close to an hour. We have made reservations for next Saturday so that we can dine and dance. It really was a great evening.
