Mazatlan

We finally made it to mainland Mexico! The ferry ride across the Sea of Cortez was wild due to a strom passing through. It was only 6hrs but we rocked right to left all the way there. Mazatlan is bigger than i had expected. Well first of all, we drove across the Tropic of Cancer. That was sweet. When we pulled into Mazatlan we went straight for the ocean and found 6ft swells pounding the on the beach right by the city. The next thing we noticed was a group of surfers charging this left hand point that was a little overhead and looked kind of decent. The only thing that distracted us from paddling out was the fact the sunset was approaching, there were no camping sites (city), and we had to try to find a friend that told us to look him up when we arrived. By a stroke of luck we found him (Johnnie) and he invited us right in. We stayed in his guest room last night and tonight we are bbq`ing steaks and shrimp. Lots of resorts, McDonalds (it was a must), warm water, hot air, and a good showing of tourists in Mazatlan. Tomorrow we will most likely head out and start to creep towards Puerto Vallarta which is about 6hrs away. I think we are finding more peace and happiness in the smaller towns, where we can pitch our tents close to the water and and appreciate the adventurous side of things. I can't believe we swept the Cardinals!
