Guitar Lesson in Tlaquepaque
10 March 2013 | Tlaquepaque, Jalisco
Capt. Crabby
We just returned from Guadalajara with Frank and Stefanie from "Endless Summer". We took the bus, about $80.00 US round trip on a beautiful bus with only 24 wide reclining seats with individual TV's, Wi-Fi, clean bathrooms and even a free lunch and drink... like flying first class. It's about a 6-hour trip from Mazatlan to Zapopan, on the outskirts of Guadalajara. We sated in the beautiful B&B that we stayed in last year, walking distance to the historic district, restaurants, shopping, etc.
We took a double-decker tour bus to Tlaquepaque one day, and Tonala the next for shopping. Tlaquepaque is really nice, beautiful art galleries, shops, restaurants, etc. Frank and Stefanie bought a lot of stuff for their new house in Tucson. We took a double-decker bus that you can ride all day, get on and off wherever you want for less than $5.00 each US.
Anyhow, we're back in Mazatlan, and guess what, we have 25-30 knot winds, chilly temps, and the harbor entrance is closed. I'm beginning to wonder if we'll ever get out of here. First we were waiting for several important things which were delayed, and now the weather's been inclement for several weeks.
Anyhow, it could be worse. It's a lot warmer than So. Cal. And we're having fun here. We'll keep you posted as things develop.
Best to all from the crew of the "Marsha Dee".
