5C's Que Pasa

This is our third winter in Mazatlan but the first time we attended the Carnivale Parade.  I have read that this is the third largest carnivale parade in the world!  This is a huge event plus it is a night parade, our first!  Lots of choices in the method of attending from renting a hotel [...]

That was the name of the second book our Stone Island book club was discussing this winter.  It is written by Deoborah Rodriguez who has also written a second novel and is working on her third which will include Mazatlan, Mexico.   The book is a sort of memoir of Deborah travelling to Afghanistan after [...]

We had so much fun yesterday.  The day should have just kept going and going.   I did not get a box of chocolates but…..   After our long long beach walk I did get a special gift! After a 90 minute massage we just hung around and enjoyed our afternoon together.   We then [...]

….well not so sure but a yelp for help!         We had a blast and you can be sure we will be using that ATV again and again….or else I will pull that TV plug  !!     That is until we saw the aliens…….

          Fish update: Blog reader and good friend Chuck left a comment on yesterdays post.  The fish I mentioned were not tuna but the fish are Jack Cravels, they are called Toros by the Mexicans, very dark red meat. The huge catch has been the talk of the Isla and many pangas [...]

We noticed an unusually large amount of pelicans hanging around the beach Monday morning.       So next time you see some activity down the beach, you just might want to check it out….right away.  Or you just might miss out on something.  Lucky Jessie.   Even this morning, while writing this in my [...]

I have never noticed these before.  Have they always been here?   Just a few more fun things here on Stone Island.  Enjoy your day wherever you are     

The Isla has a very unique way of moving large groups from the pangas to the various restaurants along the beach.
