We had planned a short stop in Mazatan,
as we had spent 5 weeks there 2 years ago. We had just arrived and
the weather window looked as if it would open up in 2 days. The more
I thought about it the more I wanted to stay at least a week. There
is so much to see and do in Mazatlan, and it felt a little like home
for us. I asked Marcus to think about waiting for another week to
make the crossing, I knew he was anxious to head to La Paz, but an
hour after I mentioned the possibility of staying, we received a
great deal on having our dodger zippers replaced. We decided to stay
and we are really happy we did.
After a delicious dinner at Topolo's
with Bill and Judy of the catamaran Moontide, we attended a Flamenco
performance at a cost of 100 pesos, about $8. It was amazing! It
was all in Spanish, but the raw emotions of the dance resulted in a
wonderful time. The venue was small, maybe 75 people and although we
sat in the back, it was amazing.
We also went to a free performance of
Romeo and Juliet, again Spanish only. It was outdoors and just a
wonderful experience, again shared with Judy and Bill. Marcus
remarked he thought he was really getting the hang of Spanish, til he
tried to follow a modernized Shakespeare play.
Happy to have my Mazatlan fix, we left
for La Paz area at 6:30 on April 21.
