Checked out of our room and killed a little time drinking beers
at a cool seafood place next door. We sat outside, but we noticed
that inside the restaurant, the bar was actually an old boat built
into the restaurant in such a way that you did a double take as you
walked by - Cool. Grabbed a taxi to the ferry terminal where we
tried to order some margaritas in the lounge. Other people in the
lounge were drinking them, but again, they told us they didn’t have
them. I don’t get this "only for locals" policy that we keep
running into. Maybe my Spanish is just that bad.
A view from our walk to the ferry terminal
From the ship we could see Mazatlan's lighthouse, which is
supposedly the second tallest in the world at 515 feet. This figure
obviously includes the hill it’s on, because the lighthouse itself
is just a tiny stub.
Look close and you can spot the huge lighthouse
We took cabina class this time, and it was less special than
especial, but not too bad, especially compared to the airline-style
seating in salon class! The heat was brutal in the cabin, though,
so we hung out outside a lot until dark. Mazatlan looked very
pretty from the sea. We decided tonight was the night to drink the
pint of Jack Daniel’s we'd carried around since Atlanta. We drank
the Jack and watched the sunset. Later we saw a meteor shower.
Go Vols!!!
