Today is our last here in Mazatlan, or actually Stone Island, or even more correctly Isla de la Piedra. Will spend most of today cleaning and packing up for an early morning departure manana. May not hear from us for several days unless our next destination (Mr. Moro RV park in Las Glorias - an ocean front park just south and west of Los Mochis) not only has wifi but has it working (always an issue in Mexico).
Ellen was to put the final touches on her Carnaval blog post last night, but tequila prevented her from doing so. Friday's from 4 -6 is cocktail hour for the Tres Amigos campers at the palapa just down the beach from here. She left at 5 and came back after I had already gone to bed. So I'm not sure what her schedule will be today. If she does not finish it today it could be days before we are able to post it, so I will post the pictures no later than tonight if she won't complete the commentary. You will at least be able to see them and she can comment at a later date.
Yesterday we rode with Robbin, our neighbor, to a very popular seafood restaurant in Villa Union - a small community on Hwy 15 just south of the airport road exit that eventually ends up at Stone Island. He said we had to go there before leaving so he drove us there for lunch. Peggy, his wife, was not feeling well so the three of us got in his Jeep and headed down the beach.
The food was perhaps the best we have had in Mexico. We had bacon wrapped stuffed grilled shrimp and baked oysters for an appetizer. Fresh fish Zarandeado was the main course. It's a whole fish with head and tail attached (but cleaned of course) split down the middle and grilled. Served with assorted fresh vegetables. Outstanding! And the salsa had a "bite" to it that made out taste buds yell "more tequila"!
Hasta Luego!
