Our trip to Mazatlan and Guadalajara PART 2

 We packed a lot in to a 5 day trip!
Sunday brunch at Jamie & Yuri's beautiful home in Mazatlan. 
Leanne is trying to work out how she can tempt Juanita, their housekeeper, back to La Paz.


Jamie's new toy.

Huge forest fire on the way to Guadalajara.


Jose Cuervo = Joe Crow. And this is a really big crow in Tequila!

Very 'refreshing' fruit juice/tequila Arotte drinks in the town centre. And you get to keep the cup!

Friendly fellow, in Tequila.


Fancy tequila tasting

Absolutely Fabulous - Georgina is a natural, even though she has never seen the tv show!

In Tlaquepaque

Another (larger) fruit juice/tequila drink called a Casuela (casserole!)

These birthday party girls took a shine to Leanne at El Barian in Tlaquepaque. 

I wish we'd seen these before we bought all our furniture...
It's no wonder Raul got lost now and again!


Stunning church in the centre of Guadalajara 
All shapes and sizes are available! 
I want to go on the Tequila Barrel Bus next time

The house band at Bariachi were superb.

Adios amigos. This will be our last blog until we return in November!

Our trip to Mazatlan and Guadalajara PART 1

 We had a wonderful trip to Mazatlan with Raul and Georgina. Lots of photos tell the story.

We set sail with mucha cerveza and (very small) tequilas.
Thankfully, the food tasted a lot better than it looked

Raul tries to reduce the amount of frozen air entering the cabin.  Leanne slept in her clothes!
Sunrise 6:30am Friday morning

The wind on deck does terrible things to a lady's hair.



Leanne - "This would make a great blog shot"....
The view from Jamie & Yuri's apartment was spectacular. Thank you!

In the back of a 'Polmonia' - the local taxi. 
Valiente, Raul (with large hat) and Jamie.

We were having so much fun on the 'bridge' we forgot to take a photo of the boat!

Our lunch, pre grill. 
La Bamba is part of the international musician's language
Leanne hanging out with another band on the beach.

A quiet lunch on the beach at Stone Island
The 15th birthday is the big one for Mexican kids


Chicos guapos. Colour coordinated.

A family band playing in the square on Friday night. The kid on drums was brilliant.
