Mazatlán is a great walking city. Dina is over her bout with covid, but is still pretty fatigued. She was napping while I again walked through Old Mazatlán.
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....
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.
Today we went to visit El Catedrál by the Mercado. However, we got distracted feeding the horde of pigeons in city hall square. I bought a packet of seeds from the bird lady. They lasted about an hour! Unfortunately, by the time we got to the Catedrál, it was closed. So, we continued our walking tour of Old Town. I did a recon a few days before S&M arrived to check accessibility.
