Visit to Mazatlan

We arrived here in Mazatlan Monday evening at about 8pm. We had hopped to get three rooms together but all three of our rooms are on separate floors. It is a nice hotel here. James and Nelly have stayed here before and James know when they have discounted rooms.

Tuesday we went for a walk down the beach most of us has sweaters on, I didn't take one but I sure could have used one, because it was kind of cool. We were constantly approached by people wanting to sell us sunglasses and by the time we left the beach four us had bought some, they are great sales men. They have a nice pool here which we have been in a few times it is heated some so it is quite comfortable. Monday we went in the ocean for a bit but it was to cold to enjoy for long.

Wednesday we went to one of the markets here and strolled around for a while. Going places with six kids makes it quite interesting at times. A few of us have kids on our shoulders as we try to keep the others within site. It is a lot of fun most of the time.

Wednesday afternoon we spent a few hours in the pool and hot tub. We were giving swimming lessons to Levi, Simon and Andrew. For living so close to the ocean they spend very little time in the water, so they are still not quite to sure of it at times.
