A nice 20 degres at 8 o'clock, always nice when you woke up. With the sun, still better! Heading up to Mazatlan, we decided to leave the highway 15 to take a secondary road, passing by little villages charming and full of life!
Landscapes are incredible, mountains and fields all green that make us remember the summer in Quebec, but warmer! About the public transport here, there is a lot of buses here and it cost not so much. Buses that make trajects between different cities are recent and clean buses for the majority and look so confortable!
We were excited to saw the sea, so just before Mazatlan, we took a road that head up to the Pacific. Here is the Pacific! The water is so warm, the sun is shinning! We stayed there a moment before going in the city.
When we were filling up the car, a cool guy come to our van and started a conversation with us about the website and everything. This guy is now living in Mazatlan, but he's from Seattle. So we tried to find a parking for the night, but how beautiful is Mazatlan! With lot of people everywhere, houses painted with all the color possible, neighborhoods in the mountain with the Pacific...so nice!
Parking found, or we thought it, a strange guy come to our van..really drunk, not too much tooth on his mouth, we finally make a false story after about 15 minutes to leave the place, a cool guy but so boring cause he didn't really know what he was talking about..So the story was just that one of our friend has an house in the city and he let us put our van there to sleep.
We finally found a parking, still in the city. For those of you who tell that the Mexico is dangerous, I think it's a really stupid idea and I hope everyone can come here to see how beautiful and paceful people lived here..excepted in some neighborhood of Mexico, but we don't know so I can't talk about it.
So tomorrow, we'll continue through the south, maybe we'll be in Puerto Vallarta at the end of the day. Just another thing for our San Luis friends, we miss you so much and hope we'll be back in San Luis soon.
Here is the map of the day! |
