Mazatlan: Saturday-
Made coffee, got out of costa bonita.
Went to the Pulmonia Statue on the Malecon to find Maureen's yoga class. A parada for addictions was starting up at the GZ side of the Malecon, so we had to go around. The yoga was at a little beach palapa restaurant overlooking the ocean. very calming. T and I then went up the beach about a rocks throw away to the AA meeting in front of the De Cima hotel. that was nice. The ocean always inspires my thinking to go deeper, look deeper, get more involved in the vastness of everything. I think that the vastness of the ocean itself is inspiring. After the Meeting, we all went to breakfast at the De Cima. it was good. I had eggs con jamon y papas. then we walked up to see the theater area, where I got us remarkably lost, well misguided, let's say. then i yanked out the trusty maps and got us straight. we found a cool little shop on the north east side of the plaza. If we had been in the mood to decorate, i could have gone nutzo in there. We then walked ou to the ocean on the olas atlas bay. Very pretty. Also, very tiring, walking that much. We caught a pulmonia back to the golden zone for some smoothies at pura vida; shopping and whatnot. it was raining that day, so it was kinda chilly. we got a couple necklaces, some spices a couple bracelets and I got a light blue turquise pendant. It has that retro boomerang look about it. gets me everytime.
Sunday morning.. Surfing lesson at playa bruja with Mazatlan Surf Center's Robert. fun. We both caught some waves and we both got mashed around a bit in the ocean. We had agua y nachos at the restaurant up there and walked on back to our hotel. Chilled a bit, got cleaned up and went into town to go to lunch and the aquarium. all very fun. lunch- tony got shrimp, stuffed with cheese and wrapped in bacon. omg, yum. after the aquarium, we went to Rico's cafe for coffee and dessert, wel, i got dessert. T got this frozen chocolate y cafe frozen thing that was spectacular. They specialize in espresso and whatnot, so mine was a very very stong cafe americano. after that, we came on back to chill, read watch the sunset on the beach (video to come later) and we ordered a pizza from Dominos of all places.
sleep and begin again. It's Monday and we're headed down to our beach to chill today. we're both sore as shit from surfing.
