Mazatlan

It´s our third day here and I don´t feel like leaving yet. It´s a beautiful place with (unfortunately) many gringitos running around, usually in fancy cars. But the ocean is calm and soothing...the seafood is delicious. We met a sweet Italian couple yesterday at the hotel Mexico so we hung out with them most of the day...going to el mercado where they have everything you could ever want or need. I finally found one of my favorite snacks, membrillo con queso cremoso! We used to eat that in Argentina all the time. Met a cool old dude hanging out in the plaza yesterday while we sat eating a melon and jack drew the cathedral. In a matter of a half hour he told me his life story...it´s always amazing to me how many people love to talk with you when they learn you speak their language.
Nobody´s commented on my ´vote for pedro´ shirt...i´m a little disappointed :(
We found the first bike shop yesterday and to my demise, the man working there had never heard of tubes 700c x 32/30 so for other cyclists considering biking down here, bring extra tubes and tires! Jack´s in heaven because they have tons of 27 and 26´s.

Mexico is treating us well so far. i´m excited to find a cool pueblo to hang in for longer than a few days...maybe find a job somewhere and make this place home for a while. If that fails, we´re talking about heading home in the spring, on a boat, on a bus, hitching a ride...time will tell.
love to all of you
