Davids fishing trip.

Last Sunday David was invited to go fishing by the previous owner of our boat. This was the fishing boat they went out on.

Copala was founded in 1565 and is an old colonial mining town.
Cobbled streets and brightly coloured houses with red tiled roofs create a very charming community envirenment.

Daytrip to Concordia and Copala

On Wednesday we hired a minibus with a small group of other boaties and went to visit two small villages 30 to 40 miles east of Mazatlan.
Concordia is a colonial village founded centuries ago by the Spanairds and hosts woodworking and furniture artisans andclay potters.
The lovely old church lends magic of past years.
