Paradise!!-Mazatlán México
Paradise is an apt name for this location. After an uneventful flight with several outstanding flight attendants (no kidding) on Sun Country Airlines, we landed at Mazatlán's 20th Century-style airport (takes me back many years), was off the jet, passed through immigration, collected our luggage, and was driving toward town--all in 35 minutes.
Right now I'm sitting on our fifth floor balcony, listening to the waves pounding on the shore in front of the condo. Beyond the sound is a backdrop of total inky blackness. No stars to be seen. Our bedroom is off the balcony and it will be sweet, going to sleep with the sound of the surf below us.
We are in a secluded area about 40 minutes from El Centro. Although I love the downtown area because of its energy and vitality, the beaches and relative quiet here is going to be a plus.
Jaime is slowly unwinding, despite mistakenly thinking that I had brought the coffee. Nope! After the initial shock wore off, he stopped hyperventilating and accepted the fact that he'd have to do without 'til we wind our way to the grocers tomorrow morning. That, too, will be an adventure. First the bank and then food! I actually enjoy riding Mexican buses. Good way to watch the people, rather than just the tourists. Tomorrow I need to start reviewing my Spanish textbook. Speaking it (if I could) is a lot more fun than studying it!
Off to my trundle bed!

From your "I LOVE Mexico!" post, and from the Paradise one, you must be there and relaxing. And a month--wonderful!
Here in Palatine IL, the predicted snow has not yet started falling. We're under a winter storm watch alert, but like your earlier message, I think ours will be gone within a few days. I hope so...
I'm due at Harper for school conferences from 12:30-about 5, and that parking lot, even with handicapped, is no easy task to conquer.
So revel, enjoy, describe (for the benefit of us less-fortunates) and keep having a scrumptiously- wonderful time. jan 3/16
