What's New in Mazatlan

What's new in Mazatlan?  Not a lot.  We have had a restful first week here in our home away from our RV.  We have been real LAZY.



Another boring sunset here in Marina Mazatlan.

The weather has been the big story in our first week.  Tropical Depression 18E turned into Tropical Storm "Sonia" on Sunday afternoon.  It was our first experience with a fullout storm here. We had lots of wind and a whole bunch of rain.  But it was warm rain at least.  The storm blew right through and by the next day it was back to sunny and in the 80"s.  That's the way to have a storm.

Cable companies here in Mexico have learned a lesson in poor customer service from the USA. We were supposed to be hooked up on Monday, than Tuesday, than Wednesday or Thursday.  Today is Friday so  it was time too go visit Megacable.  I have been assured they will do the installation of our TV and internet tomorrow or Monday.  We'll see. 

I have to remember that Comcast took over 6 weeks of promises when we built the Raft Island home.  I finally had to give up on them and go to Dish.  So in perspective, Megacable has 5 more weeks to match Comcast.  The race is on.

And the sunset winds down to darkness around 6:30.

And if you don't like sunsets we'll try a sunrise from the East side of our condo.

Dave and Jamie arrive to spend a night at our home.  They are taking an all day bus ride from Porte Vallarta and will arrive at 8:00.  Tomorrow they are moving to their hotel for the next few weeks.  Friends and family will be arriving all week and we look forward to a fun filled November with all the visitors.

Is my sister a grandmother yet?  We should hear tomorrow.  Otto is due to arrive tonight or tomorrow. If he arrives on the 9th he will be the third generation in a row to share that birth date: Sara, Marg and Otto.

I'll show you my new "Day of the Dead" lady in the next blog.  See you then.
