Playa Bruja (Witch Beach)

Well, we went out to this beach in search of the surfers but, to our surprise, there weren't any. Guess maybe they were working or maybe taking a siesta. The waves were incredible so we aren't sure where they were since this is suppose to be Maz heaven for surfers. The margaritas at the Playa Bruja Restaurant were so so but it was still an enjoyable afternoon spent on the beach watching the waves. We also met a family from Seattle at the restaurant. They were staying at Torres Mazatlan which is our timeshare down here. What a small world! Here is a video and a couple of pics of this beach Also, a pic of some seashells Greg found.

Lots of interesting rock formations around this beach.


The seashells Greg found. We haven't seen any of these on our beach.

We visted Playa Bruja in late November of 2007. I agree, the margarita's were so-so, but that was my feeling overall for EVERYwhere we went that I ordered a margarita...maybe the sweet & sour mix they use? I ended up drinking beer for the rest of our vacation. However, the food we loved...On Friday night (I think, it's Fridays) they have a lobster special, thats very reasonably priced. Now it's not a "lobster" like from Maine, they're much smaller, but you get a couple 2 or 3 of them on your plate & were delicious! We weren't crazy about their salsa, but we were spoiled on Torres' salsa which we put on everything. I'd still recommend eating here, it doesn't look like much from the outside, or inside for that matter, but hey...it's Mexico, what do you expect?

Mazatlan's baseball team

Image
The past two evenings have been pretty noisey here on the malecon. Night before last, about sunset, the horns began to honk and flags were flying out windows of cars, pulmonias, etc. with lots of yelling and screaming in pure exhalation! Turns out the Venados (Deer), Mazatlan's baseball team, won their game against Los Mochis (a town about 2 hours north of Maz) which makes them the champions of the Mexican Pacific League. This puts them in the Caribbean Series which starts next month. Their first games of the series will be February 2nd against Venezuela and Puerto Rico in Mexicali, Baja, California. Here is a link to more information on the Series. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/events/winterleagues/?league=cs Everyone was sooooooo excited and the horn honking went on way past midnight. Then, last evening we had a parade that started down the malecon just after sunset to honor the Venados. Here's a short video clip of part of the parade. It's kind of dark but if you increase yo...

Aroma Spa experience

Image
Today we went in search of massage spas here in Maz. We found an Aroma spa in El Centro (Old Mazatlan) just a block from the Plazuela Machado. It was quite different from any spa I have been to but thought what the heck and we both made appointments for 1 hour, full body massages. The price was quite reasonable $150 pesos each. (That's $15 US). The place is named "Aroma Spa" but the only scent we detected was in the air when you entered the spa. Sort of a pepperminty aroma. The spa rooms (air conditioned) were very interesting with tree trunks from floor to ceiling, draped with fabric and ribbon and strange things hanging from the ceiling. I tried to take a few photos but the spa rooms were quite small so they didn't turn out very well. Hopefully, you can get an idea of the decor. The photo with Greg in it is where they give manicures and pedicures (no air conditioning). Don't think I'll be going there for that. All in all, the experience was not too bad and...

Update on what we have been doing.....

Image
Well thought it was time we posted something about our recent adventures. Since the last posting, everything is still going well with the development of Baby J. The 2nd ultrasound is scheduled for March 26th. Maybe the picture they get this time will be a little clearer. We look forward to seeing the photo. Kristi is feeling better with more energy and they can feel the movement of Baby J now. So that is very exciting for Josh and Kristi. We got news this month that my sister, Deannie, in Yakima has been diagnosed with breast cancer. She has undergone surgery to remove the tumor and lymph nodes and feel confident they got all of the cancer cells. There were none found in the lymph nodes. There is still another test they have to run before Chemo is ruled out. At this date, when she heals from the surgery, she will go through radiation and will be taking a anti-estrogen medication. Deannie has a bright and positive attitude about this and is determined to beat it. With all our positive t...
