Made it to Mazatlan

Wow—two days in a row driving Mohita without mishap. We are feeling much more confident about her now. We arrived in Mazatlan this morning at around 11:00 and found a spot at the San Fernando RV park just a block back from the beach and near lots of tourist amenities. It has a nice pool and hot tub and a cute little outdoor clubhouse room as well as a laundry, good showers, and wireless internet—everything we need for a pleasant stay. The weather is lovely, warm (not hot) in the afternoon and cool at night. We signed up for four days but are now thinking of staying longer. There's lots to see and do here. This afternoon we took one of the open-air cabs they call pulmonias down to the municipal market to buy some provisions. Once you get away from the tourist zone the prices are quite reasonable. The dogs like it here too as there are no resident dogs lording it over them. Geordie's not too happy about the fireworks that went off about an hour ago, but aside from that, all is good.

Hi Joanna, great to read of your adventures in Mexico! Nice little bar on main street heading into town in Mazatlan! A concrete wall is the entrance and it has very "quaint" washrooms(lol)! If you are feeling brave, check it out!!! Take care, Karen H.

Hi!

Be sure to have at least a few meals at Restaurante y Pastelería Panamá. Great food, good service, and it's cheap.

Ask for the "sopa de tortilla". It's the best in México.

Cheers. Great blog :)

Thanks for the tips. Someone else mentioned the Panama to us today as well. We're finding lots to see and do here.
