Fun in the sun - Mazatlan

Oh Mazatlan, I forgot your charms.
Two years ago we started saving for and planning a family trip to return to Mazatlan. The idea was that we would supply a couple of rooms and the kids would find their own way down there.
We were wondering if we had made a mistake when we began hearing about all the drug violence in other parts of Mexico but Mazatlan remains beautiful, warm, and culturally rich as usual. How can you go wrong with Mexican hospitality and culture, the beautiful Pacific ocean, and SUN.

Traveling with passports is still not for everyone but it does open doors to some of the best vacation spots in the world.
I almost feel at "home" when I am there...maybe it is just the loving people we have come to know there that makes it such a special place...and until their govt gets their act together, the tourist industry is a vital part of their livelihood. For that reason I like to be generous with my tips...these people work so hard and I know it is a way of sharing what we have. Join us with a peek at one of our favorite spots off the tourist beat for dinner in the old historical Mazatlan called the Machado. The little guy is grandson Micah...I took this video so he can have a record of his first visit to Mexico. (see video clip below)
