I'll Have Real Sugar with My Coke


You know you have arrived in Mexico when your Coke is real.... that would be real sugar.  I'm not sure that I could tell the difference but the ice cold glass bottle is the best part.  We had to dig down through the ice to get the bottle out of the cooler.  The world is complete and all is well with a bottle of ice cold Coke in your hand.

It was a long drive to Mazatlan but Terri drove it all like a native.  That would be foot to the floor fast, pass on either side, honk your horn and maybe on occasion using your turn signal.  She did well.

It is unseasonably warm at 90 degrees and a bunch of humidity.  Terri loves it and I am learning to adapt.  Two showers a day minimum.  We got up early to get our walk in this morning while it was cool, if you consider the high 70's to be cool.

Here are a couple of photos of the sunrise this morning from the East side of our condo.


Just before sunrise facing East.
Looking West at about 6:00 in the morning.
Last night we went down to the pool and dangled our feet in the water.  I thought it might be cool but the water is sort of close  to the outside temperature.  We should have worn our swimsuits.  Maybe this evening we'll go down for a dip.

We're off to the "Artwalk" this evening.  There are 27 studios around town that are open to wander thru.  We've done it several times through the years.  The best part is seeing the old homes where the studios are located.  They are all well over 100 years old.


We may even eat Mexican food tonight.  Maybe a Torta or Tacos.  It's all an adventure so we'll see what happens.

  2. I agree that "real Coke" (made in Mexico) is far superior. Many chain groceries sell glass bottles of pop made there. They don't use high fructose corn syrup. My local Safeway & Bartell Drugs carry 'em. ☻
