Easter Week in Mazatlan

When we left PV on last Thursday we knew that we would be arriving on the morning of Good Friday which is the beginning of a long holiday weekend in Mexico.  Our plans were to meet up with Orland and Linda on Cuba Libre.  We had heard about the Sunday brunch at El Cid and knew we had to give it a try.  We met on the terrace overlooking the water for our first mimosa at 9am and had our last one at 3pm.  What a way to spend a beautiful day

 The pool is the main attraction at El Cid and there were so many people in it you couldn't possibly swim.  The tots pool was a favorite for parents with small children

   
 There was music poolside for the entire weekend which we were also able to enjoy down on the boat

Roger found a poolside lounge and was determined not to give it up for the entire weekend.  Well, maybe on Easter just in order to have a mimosa, but the rest of the time he was right here.

I went for a beach walk with Linda and found it to be crowded with locals and vendors. At high tide we found it a bit difficult to navigate the beach but it was fun.

I loved the way the Mexicans bring everything to the beach.  Even a wading pool to keep the smallest kids safe from the big bad sea.

     



  Everyone finds a way to enjoy the water down here and I am sure a ride on this Hobie is a lot more fun in the warm waters found here that back up in the San Francisco Bay.

Friday the weather appears to right for our next crossing which will be from Mazatlan to La Cruz.  We will be traveling with Eric and Marilyn on Full Shell before we head up the Sea.
