Random mexicanos

Welcome to the random reel! Yesterday we went on a city tour, so here we are on the trolley, and our new buddies Dave and Barbara behind us. Windy cabana scene this morning



Senor Frog and hoodlum shann

Mexican Lombard street.. the view from our veranda restaurant.

Back to city tour...the Devils Gate. Mexicans stored guns and gunpowder in this cave during a french invasion...and the smell of sulfur from the gunpowder...thus the name.

The cliff diver. A stop on the city tour for this brave soul. He has become a famous Mazatlan icon.

City view.

Interior of cathedral

Exterior, of course...

View from my seat this morning. The yellow rope keeps vendors out unless you beckon them. I did buy a ring this morning. :)


This afternoon's ATV ride. Shann learned how to drive this through the crazy streets of Mazatlan! Nothing like trial by fire! I tried it out too, once we were out in the country. Got to drive down the beach for awhile too. Very, very fun. And now we'll be bringing home dirt and sand as souvenirs caked in our clothes!

Do you actually see that guy dive off the cliff?? Very fun pictures... I like the last one of the two of you on the ATV!

yes, we saw him dive off - he had this whole routine, pretending (we think) to be really nervous...so he could get better tips...:)
