Dental story

Btw, my dentist put me on a stronger antibiotic because my jaw is still a little infected.

¡Carnaval en Mazatlán!

¡Carnaval en Mazatlán! Six days of celebration when the city swells by 600,000. It truly is massive. Lots of revelers from Mexico and all over the world. I'm hearing many foreign accents. I was detained last night because I was carrying a pocket knife into the cordoned area. No big deal. A $56 cash "fine" and confiscation of the weapon (I was handcuffed to the police truck while we negotiated my release). I ended up watching the huge fireworks show from the rooftop at the condo. Dina will be back tomorrow and, hopefully, keep me out of trouble. Big parade forming up for tonight. I rode my e-bike along the route until it was too jammed up with pedestrians. Peeled off to side streets to get back home.

Day 30

I can't believe it's been a month since we arrived! It's been a very busy time learning new names and places, and exploring Old Mazatlán and the seacoast. I've been reserving trips in preparation for Sadie and Macy's visit. They're coming on the 21st for almost 2 weeks. I have been learning a lot by eavesdropping on the tour guides. I'm thinking about being a volunteer guide for los turistas for a couple of hours a week. Isn't that what old people do!? I started yoga this morning. It's a fairly easy class and was very enjoyable and relaxing. I met a Mexican women who was living in our neighborhood in Portland a few years ago!   I finally climbed El Faro in the evening when the sun is behind the hill and it's much cooler. Dina and I went to the beach early yesterday to watch the diving pelicans. Also, many frigate birds gathering up fish guts the Pescadores were throwing out. it's Christmas here in Mazatlán.

¡Carnaval!

Hey, Zues! Two days after taking down the Christmas decorations, Carnaval is starting. So far, it's one holiday after another here.  I love this installation. A corpulent dude on a unicycle with a cigar and a beer. Towering 30 feet over the Malecón. I think it's papier maché.
