Had a super week in Mazatlan with s/v's Panta Rhei, Sirena, Grace and Ponderosa. I included a picture of the 'ladies' who went walking every morning at 7am. (In 1988, the ladies that went walking we called the Ladies of the Wall.) I got some great shots with the beautiful sunrise colors as well. Unfortunately the last day we walked, we thought we heard gun shots and later did hear a policeman was shot. Still checking into the details.

There are so many great places to eat and you have to check out Panama for their sweet breads, yummmm. We swam at the El Sid Resort twice; they have waterfalls, a HOT hot tub, iguanas, etc. The bus system takes you wherever you want to go. We weren't sure we'd get to the Sunday Mercado as we headed out of town on our 2nd bus but we got there and found lots of fresh veggies and more. After walking, there was a local farmer who came to the Marina Mazatlan 3x a week, I believe to sell his wares. Karen off Panta Rhei convinced me to soak all items in a bleach water solution so we were bug free! We didn't get the termites that they did but we've been on the move more.

Right now we're FLY CENTRAL, something we haven't dealt with for awhile, so we are using our food covers and bug zappers. Paradise has its drawbacks. I even had to wear a sweatshirt as I went kayaking in Bahia Balandra yesterday! I know, hard to feel sorry for me.

My piece of coral fan is decorated as our Christmas tree for the 2nd year, we strung some light and hung our stockings on the hinges of our salon cabinets so we're ready for Christmas as well. Still have tons to write about, till then...
