Mazatlán

We have been in Mazatlán for a couple of months now, and will be here for at least one more, since we're waiting on our residency permits from INM (Immigration). The permanent resident cards are apparently processed out of Mexico City, rather than locally, and it takes a while. That's OK, we're really enjoying our time here.

There's a beautiful historic district (Centro Historico), which is easily reached by bus:

Corner

Collonade

Abandoned Building

View into Abandoned House

Street

Bench in Front of the Art Museum

Abandoned House with Trees Growing out of the Roof

There are beautiful beaches. At the north end of town is Playa Bruja (Witch Beach), which is very rocky and has lots of interesting tide pools. We went up there on a day when there was a minus tide.

There are tiny bright blue fish in this pool
