Lunch at Playa Mazatlan



I thought I'd post a few more pictures taken at our latest day out, when we rewarded ourselves after having our skin zapped of funny things at the dermatologist. Poor Michael. He not only zapped the bad guys, but also got a sore on the top of his head.

The restaurant has placed posts about ten feet out from the tables, obviously to keep vendors at bay, but you can look down at the local merchants who ply the beaches. One woman, loaded with shawls, stopped. Really, they were lovely. By the time she'd unloaded the lot, I felt compelled to bargain with her. I came away with a lovely black shawl that has colorful dragonflies on it -- for 130 pesos, whichis close to eleven dollars at today's exchange rate.

In another picture you can see a parasailor coming in for a landing. The pangas take folk up, give them a quick 4-7 minute ride, then drop them off at the beach.
