October 31st - Mazatlan

Well, Cerritos, actually, we're about 10 Km. north of Matzatlan, along the beach.  Turns out that the RV Park we are at (Baraka's), is also part of a Beach Club - much basso profound, unka - unka into the night.  Surprisingly, though, for a Friday night, they shut it down at 11:00 pm.

Nancy found a land tortoise wandering through the RV park.

And last evening, Nancy walked the 100 yards down to the beach and took a few photos.

Our faithful readers have opinioned that having Nancy, myself, or Kirk in the photos would improve same.  Alas, Kirk is not permitted into some areas, and I cannot match the boundless energy of our heroine, so the choice remains subjectless photos or none.
Nice to see Magnificent Frigates again.

Nancy - I went to the Old Mazatlan market today with Dawn and Bob.  We took the local bus for 8 pesos there and back.  It was an open building many blocks long selling everything.  The meat section brought back fond memories of being on my grandparents farm.  People making headcheese, farm size chickens, all the parts are for sale, etc.  We bartered dresses for us and a shirt for Bob from a group of truly lovely Mexican ladies for about 30 minutes.   Managed to get them down by 30% still probably paid 15% too much.  Bob was surely outnumbered when Dawn and I sided with the ladies on a shirt he really didn't want but got anyway. The good news of the day was that the RV left in Los Mochis had been fixed and they will rejoin the caravan later today.  They had it serviced in Utah on the way down, and the Mexican mechanic here discovered that the impending doom fault that shut the RV down was due to the wrong filter being installed in Utah!  Happy outcome.

On the road again tomorrow, theoretically landing at La Penita RV Park, the destination of our long trek.

Supper at Fat Fish, Mazatlan.
