Back
to lovely Mazatlán… It was a far less hazy
sky than our last visit into Mazatlán but still quite a bit of smoke in the
air. It was a lovely sail-in and
sunrise. Ann, Cathy and I left the ship as soon as it was cleared and followed
the “Blue Line” through the historic old district of Mazatlán to the Machado
Square. Since our visit last week, the square has been decorated the Day of the
Dead holiday on November 1st and 2nd. Continuing along we arrived at Republic
Square across from the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. Following our
visit to the Cathedral we hired a Pulmonia open air taxi to give us a tour of
the Old City. First, we ascended the El Mirador to a viewpoint well above the
city. From here we toured a few streets of Old Mazatlán then along the Malecon
stopping for a photo at the Pedro Infante Monument, along Paseo del Centenario
to Canon Marea Mirador for some great views. Our last stop before returning to
the ship was to see a daring high-flying cliff diver at the Mirador “El Corazon”...not
for a the faint of heart. We returned to the ship, Ann and Cathy stopped to
shop and I went directly to the Retreat…another beautiful day in the mid 90’s.
Jeff, was that you diving off of the rocks? Great form....
