SB 2010: Mazatlan

Our second day in Port was Mazatlan.
We took a water taxi to Isla de Piedra (Stone Island)
It was just our family and a bunch of locals on the water taxi.
Most of the tourists get to Stone Island by the
excursion boats. They bring loads of people there to snorkel
and then take them back to the marina.

JJ was brave enough to pose with these iguanas.
You couldn't have paid me to do this.
Gives me the willies just looking at them.

Montana got her hair braided by a nice Mexican lady on the beach

The beaches in Mazatlan were our favorite
sandy not rocky
We swam, body surfed, and snorkeled

By mid afternoon Reed had enough sun and
wanted to head back to the ship before the rest of us.
He took the water taxi back from Stone Island.
I think he was pretty pleased that he found the way by himself.
He missed out on the cab ride to the marina/plaza though.
He had to walk through town
because he didn't have any money with him.

The Salvation Army was outside singing to the passengers
as we boarded the ship after our day in Mazatlan.
The children hold buckets out to gather donations.

  1. Oh my gosh...in that top picture, Montana looks just like Laura to me. And then the one of JJ, at first I thought was you, but then I was like, there's NO WAY susieQ would hold those! And then I looked closer and saw it was her, not you!

    And yay, someone did get braids!!!

  3. Thanks Sally, I love being compared to good-looking people :)
    I can't believe JJ could hold those reptiles. I actually have a fear of lizards (of any kind) thanks to Hank and our brother between us.
    I'm glad you guys are having such a great adventure!
