We were anchored in the old harbor by the ferry and cruise
ship docks. The redstacked vessel is a maritime transport, while the Baja Ferry runs between Mazatlan and La Paz. Between these two,
the two visiting cruise ships can be spotted. What a busy place!
Isla Creston is attached to the city via a causeway. Even though
this lighthouse is high above the waterline, it appears to be the only
light. We could see no other when we left port at 1 AM for La Paz.
Our favorite restaurant in Mazatlan is called Panama!
Dessert carts are wheeled from table to table to tempt
the customers.... even at breakfast~ too much for even
our sweetooths!!
The first two times we visited Mazatlan we stayed in one of the marinas on the north end of the city. This time we decided to anchor out on the south end! It was a neat experience and we even got a lot of excerise in, since we walked to the city center twice- quite a hike. Alice also walked to church and back on Sunday- another sizable hike. Alice likes to walk for the sake of walking, while Bill will walk willingly for a purpose. She thought it would be cool to walk to the top of Isla Creston, the lighthouse island right next to our anchorage. However, after hiking switchbacks part way up we heard that there are then 300 steps! No thanks!! We did all our walking on relatively flat ground.
