Fourth Time. I have been so many times! It was awesome. Although it was extremely hot and humid, the view was so beautiful that it made up for our anger caused by heat exhaustion. Jumping into pools, shopping, reading (Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave).

A view from the hotel room
Just like the name suggests, the hotel es muy bonito. When walking on la playa, one gets a feeling of what the natives must call amor. Along with the beauty of nature is paired the craftsmanship of humans. Pools reflect the ocean, thus appearing like they reach to the horizon. The stores are gracefully dispersed. The heat is bearable in a land of paradise, where flamingos strut their stuff as aerobics are held in the pool. And what ties all this together is the beautiful sunset off in the distance.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder... and at to the right hand side of diners! Characterized by the Mazatlan beach side, Panchos offers great service at reasonable prices. The two story building offers cultural cuisine at low prices with appetizers that set off the taste buds like alarms! The sunset on the horizon gives way to the light of the lighthouse in the opposite direction as the island directly out of the bay dims in the waning light. Overall, the night air is stunning and full of romance.

Centro Mercado

Activity

A beautiful sight
Crowds of people. Swarming masses. Pig's head? Not usually what you associate with beauty and culture...But this is a major exception. How can you not become part of the swarms of people trying to buy food at the market? How can you not laugh at the smiling pig's faces in the delis? El Centro has much to do, including a visit to the local Catholic Cathedral and the park. You never know where you are going to go or what you are going to do, but if it becomes to overwhelming, take a stroll to the beach...It's only half a mile away!
