Left Culiacan by 9:30;\u00a0 no breakfast!\u00a0 We had hoped to contact our friend Cynthia’s family in Mazatlan, but we failed because we only had work numbers for Gabino, and Saturday the school was closed.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We had to stop early, anyway, because I was not feeling well.\u00a0 We struggled, again, to find a cheap place for the night;\u00a0 this is the biggest vacation week in Mexico, for the Mexican’s, and everything is full and prices jacked up.\u00a0 This was not the best week to start off here.<\/p>\n
We finally we settled on a true flea-bag;\u00a0 no hot water, beds that were so swayback as to be a joke!.\u00a0 Excellent security, though.\u00a0 We appear to be the only gringoes staying at this hotel. Levi and I played pool in the hotel lobby;\u00a0 we certainly are a curiousity to many folks.\u00a0 Frank stares and lots of questions.\u00a0 They had a foozball table that looked like it had been manufactured in the Soviet Union.\u00a0 The ‘players’ were all gray, looked partly melted, and were attached to the control rods with nails and large, rusty screws.\u00a0 We laughed and laughed!<\/p>\n
I finally went to a farmacia and got a two-week course of anti-biotics to help me kick this cough before it becomes pnuemonia.\u00a0\u00a0 Levi got his first Cuban cigar of the trip.\u00a0 I slept for a few hours, while Levi walked the beach and checked out the scene.\u00a0 Later, we ate tuna and tortillas in our room, rather than fight the crowds and pay too much for a meal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
