What I should be doing is telling you about Mazatlan today. About the ship sailing into harbor this morning. About docking in a commercial port. About all the cars, buses, and trucks staged & the huge Solar Hybrid transport.
But first –

Fishing 4 Condiments
Ok – now that you have seen it, I will move on.
It was about 0700 in the morning when we passed the outer portions of the harbor

Approaching the port
and saw the city in the distance

the new city
Common to most port cities – the Seafarer’s Memorials –

The Memorials
and, after we sailed in a bit, turned around to face out of the harbor and docked next to the Emerald Ace and all those cars..

Just some of the vehicles
About late morning, I rode the port trolley (only way to get around in the port) over to the terminal. Like several of our other stops, there were multiple vendors: junk, t-shirts, and pharmacies featuring prominently along with alcohol. I walked around, Confirmed that I didn’t need a thing and headed back to the ship. Obviously, I have spent the rest of the day on Fishing 4 Condiments and it was about 1600 stitches to finish. I still have the back stitching to do, but that will be easier completed once I am home.
Oh that’s pretty! Well done.
