Art-walk in Mazatlan
We haven't started sailing yet as we are familierizing us with the boat and waiting for the previous owner to arrive at the end of this week, hopefully. So the waiting time is spent with various activities.
On Friday night we took the local bus to town with some other sailors and went on an art walk round a lot of galleries and craft workshops in the old part of town. It was just amazing to see all the paintings, wallhangings, mobiles, pottery, quilts and much more all in brilliant colours. I just loved it. The galleries and workshops were open to the elements and the gardens were lovely. The first one had a mozaic of a snake along the top of the garden wall, as you can see on the photos. The icing on the cake was a concert played by an international string quartet in the university hall. The music was by Shostakovich and an local Mexican composer, Arturo Marquez.
Children's Carnaval Parade
On Tuesday afternoon another carnaval parade took place. It was the children' s parade and lots of families with little kids were watching.

bullfigft
These pictures are from the bullfight, and tell it all. It was very elegant to start with.
Bull Fight
Monday we went to our first ever bull-fight. We went off in an open taxi. It was very exciting, and the atmosphere was quite electric. We bought tickets at the intrance and we got seats amongst the locals, which was interesting in itself.
A long time passed before they got the show started, and during this time vendors sold anything from beer to Mangos and cigars, cushions, parasols and hats.
