MORE MAZATLAN

SPRING BREAK 2010!!!

wooo hoooo. senior high school style.

Sarah, Lacadia and I went to Mexico with Becky, Dani and Olivia

and had the Best beach vacation.

(this is going to be just a shitload of pictures, ok?)

excited to be in the airport! we started

counting down 79 days before this moment..

did you know that the international terminal

at the sacramento airport is one room?

one room withOUT a bar??!!

yep, this babe was our flight.

FINALLY after like twelve too many layovers,

the three 0f us arrive in mazatlan!

Hair Blowin' wild in the taxi ride to the hotel.

(why does the text sometimes decide to

just underline itself?)

anyway, I decided to get a few good shots of

the taxi cab driver just incase we were

kidnapped and murdered, and my camera was found,

they could identify our cab driver

by his bad ass skull steering wheel accessory.

Lacadia enjoying the view from our balcony!!

Dani gettin' her playboy sexy on in our pool.

what a cute Face!!!

This is the lil Ferry we took to Stone Island for a full day.

the inside of my favorite place to eat in mazatlan.

-fun stuff to look at on the wall, including

a 1940s photo of the original owner of the restaurant

on his bike, arm in arm with his best friend

when they were 16....

-the son, who now owns the place was super friendly

-it has the Best Food. SMOKED MARLIN!!! YUM.

These waves were so fun!!!

so warm.

we played like happy mermaids

in the ocean every day.

Sarah is a fan of backflips and handstands,

I like trying to jump above the waves.

I didn't even mind getting smashed and

the slammed by them.

it was like a fun game, a lot less scary

then the surfing-take-one action in Bolinas.

I never knew the ocean could feel as good as it looks.

pizza place

LAAADDDIIIIEESSS!!!!

MICHALADA! all day everyday. seriously.

gorgeous agave fields

German military truck that took us an hour away

to zipline....!!!

Huana Coa

zip lining was SOOOO FUN!

again, from our balcony...

watching sunset Rollerbladers!!

yea, this salad doesn't look amazing.

but we were SO excited to have something but

melted cheese and tortilla.

Look how great Sarah feels!!

Tamale Making Time!!

I love you, Mazatlan.

thank you so much Becky for sharing your special places!

I'm going to have to go back every April!!

love,

Trisha.

Mazatlan! safe passage

We arrived safely in Mazatlan and took a taxi to Elena's house in the old part of town. Elena is a friend of Becky's mom, and we were renting rooms from her for a ridiculously low price. She lives right on the ocean in the old part of town, safely away from the party central senior frogs part of town.

There was a large open to the sky courtyard in the middle of her home. It was inhabited by a number of scrappy cats. All the cats in Mazatlan seemed pretty tough.

This is the beach right outside our front door.

Local lore says that the domed building was a mansion built by a drug lord who was assassinated before he could complete it, and now family members squat there.

This is Elena and her dog Chewy.

Becky and Dani and I each got our own room, with a balcony and a ceiling fan. Gorgeous!! The air was warm and balmy with a slight breeze. Perfect. My hang nails and dry scalp disappeared within the first 10 hours, swear to god.

Turns out Trisha, Lacadia, and Sarah's hotel was literally around the corner from us. Serendipity. We would go to eachother's sidewalk and just holla up.

Pretty nice graffiti

Becky took us to a bullfighter bar.

This book was next to the pooper in our house.

You know I love me some gorgeous tile. All over, man.

This is the first post about this trip. We've been so busy since we got back we have barely had time to think, let alone go through all our millions of photos. Such a fun trip. I can't wait to go back.
