On Wednesday, December 2, 2009 we ventured into Old Town to check out the sites and visit the large indoor farmer's market. The kids could not get over all the butcher shops and the chickens hanging from hooks above the stalls. It was our mission to find some interesting presents for the holiday exchange that we would be participating when we fly to Houston this month. We managed to find somethings that we thought would work just fine.
After visiting the market we went over to the Cathedral that dominates the center of Old Town Mazatlan. The kids could not believe that the same picture of Our Lady of Guadalupe that hangs in our church was also hanging in this church. There is a large festival here next week to celebrate her feast day but I don't think we will be here to witness it.
From Mazatlan our plan is to head south toward Puerto Vallarta. Today we're going to head to the beach. It has been unseasonably cold here in Mazatlan. It gets down to the high 50's at night and only gets to about the low 70's during the day but we're not complaining, the sky is blue and the water is warm. Til we write again.....
