Left Los Mochis at 08:45 after a pancake breakfast at the Santa Anita Hotel. 293 miles to Mazatlan. Rolling terrain, farmland, miles and miles of crops, probably bound for the U.S. 75 degrees to start with a high of 93s then down to 87 along the coast.

Mex. 15 is a four-lane divided highway. Speed limit of 110K. About $18 in tolls for this leg of the journey.

Staying at the Belmar Hotel, right on the beach. A great coffee shop next door, the Looney Bean.
