A Day In Mazatlan




Mazatlan is by far the biggest city we have been in yet. We are camping on the outskirts of town, which seems to be normal for RV'ers. We took a bus into the center of town yesterday to spend some time seeing the sites. We visited the mercado, the famous church, some nice parks, and then went on a wild goose chase to find the Pacifico Brewery.

After searching the whole town (on foot as usual), we came to our destination. First stopping into a dingy bar to change into pants then we started our private tour of the oldest & smallest brewery in Mexico (1900), actually we were the only two that signed up. It was quite impressive. We learned that most "mexican" beers are actually German, we like them even more now! After the tour we headed to the muesum for some fresh and free beers (best Pacifico we ever had!), plus an incredible view of the city.
Having walked enough for one day, we hired a taxi, more like a glorified golf cart, to bring us to the "Golden Zone". We had the best meal we have yet, and extremely cheap. A long but very enjoyable day!
