I see it's 30 degrees at home now, must feel like a heat wave. Not rubbing it in, just giving information - it's 73 here now at 7:30pm. It does get HOT here in the day! One needs shade or a lot of wind to stay comfortable. The ocean front sites are to die for! Constant breeze all day long making even the hottest time of the day comfortable to be outside. Some people book the ocean front spaces for 5 or more years in advance. They are almost impossible to get unless a history of coming here has been established. We are OK where we are at, but the angle of the sun during the day makes shade hard to find even with the awning out. But inside the motor home or outside in shade it's comfortable with the constant breeze. We have an "end" spot in the third row so even though not on the water we do look out to the ocean, a benefit most other sites do not have in rows 2, 3, and 4.

We walked the area today during the hottest time of the day and suffered a little for doing so. Best time is before 10:00am or after 4:00pm. It's just too hot in the sun if not on the beach.

But we wanted to find where the water taxi departs the island for downtown Mazatlan. Going over Monday morning to meet an "online friend" who lives in Mazatlan. She is known as "Mazatlan Lee". She has a great web site http://www.skping.com/ if you want to explore the city online. I brought her a few items from the US she can't get in Mexico so she is meeting us at the taxi dock to get them. In return she is going to help us get our prescriptions filled, show us how the bus system works so we can get around without having to drive, and provide any other help or information we want or need.

We drove into the little village here - Isla de la Piedra - this afternoon to buy necessities (tequila, cerveza, and ice) and it was an eye opening experience to see what the "normal" living conditions are here for the locals. Very interesting and educational! I'll post some pictures on Sunday.

Our next door neighbors for the two nights we have been here are leaving in the morning after a two month stay. Big bonfire on the beach at 8:00pm for a going away party. Time to go.

Tomorrow - Super Bowl Party.
