Max and Skye only have few days left so we decide that fishing has to take a day off ( I actually fished to keep my record intact but close to home) and tour the south part of town. Afterall, those kids want to do it all and we have the 2nd tallest natural light house in World. Its a total of 350 steps with another switchback trail elevation rise of another 400 feet or so. Its impressive and just one of things you do here in Mazatlan. Years ago we ran into Jason Moore from Anchorage's KTUU Channel 2, he had run the steps to 
the Faro and even in the shape he is the sweat was rolling off him like a 200 degree sauna. So the first pic is from the road, it might not look like much to you but we're just a few blocks away from a cardio workout. The next pic is the crew from the switchback, about a quarter of the way up. Then the next pic a nice canadian women took for us at the top. The pic after that expains it all well, off to the right is our next destination, Stone Island that it in true Mexican fashion is not really an island at all. It just seems like one I guess.

We start down the trail and MP has this theory that going down is harder than going up. It might be for her but this kid was plain happy doing the downhill, in fact its so much easier you can actually talk on the way. About a third of the way down and at about eye level I run into this graffitti tree. When it comes to initialing your love for someone I've always been a wet concrete guy but I have to admit this is the perfect place for Pedro loves Lupita. I started to carve but decide with all the construction 
around here I'd just wait for some perfectly setting concrete. I have one in front of the Mayan Palace at the bus stop that I did in 2002....JK + MP ALASKA est: 1978....just an old softy ain't I?

If theres a perfect place in the world for doing nothing, this is it. Mainly because theres nothing there accept coconuts, palapa restraunts and Pacifico beer. Its kind of a story in contrast, on the north of the 
harbor is the bustling city and a 5 minute boat ride puts you on the isla...Its weird. Even though its a cruise ship day, in fact three of those monsters were in port, once you get to the island life slows down. We go to our favorite place, restraunt Pele and meet our old friend Rudy. The Faro burned enough calories that I have garlic shrimp, Max and MP chicken and Skye has tamales, vegetarian style....and of course....you got it, Pacifico beer. The last pic is our friend Skye adapting to life on the Isla, laid back with a fresh coconut. Until I came here I thought coconut was dry and chewy, 
nope, its sweet. You drink the juice then Rudy machete's the meat out and with a little red chili sauce its absolutely good enough to make a bulldog break his chain.
