NICE PEOPLE, BAD WEATHER AND FUN RIDING IN MEXICO (27 of Dec.2008).
Part 3. 17 January 2009.
Mazatlan Mexico; we stayed about a week in an old, cheap hotel called Belmar, a hotel where in the fifties famous movie stars were staying. Its situated in the historic part of the town and it has colorful houses and some quiet streets. Mike new exactly where to find good food and cheap beer, so we went out together several times. Mike is good company, he is well traveled, has many stories to tell and he is also a man with an iron will power, a good example for us. He is a bit older than we are, but at 65 is still going strong on his bike!
