Our Greeters in Mazatlan–just outside our hotel room.
How could they resist those skies?
Our room in San Carlos. Fancy concrete headboards built into the wall included reading lamps.
I loved this backdrop to the town.
View from our second floor patio of pool and ocean across the street.
I fell off my bar stool trying to get this picture. The Mexican lady at the next table looked at me with some disgust. I’m sure she thought I must be a drunk and disorderly Gringo. In reality, I had barely tasted my pina colada and was merely clumsy. (I don’t know why the younger musician held his guitar up so high. Perhaps he was accustomed to a higher tide.)
Blue would like me to inform you that contrary to yesterday’s post, she is not a wino! She just enjoys a glass of wine before bed. Tonight we are in Peoria, Arizona at my sister Patti’s house and she and Jim poured a very fine vintage, so all was made up for in the end.
I never did figure out what was sticking out of this gull’s head. It looked like a toothpick or porcupine quill that had grown into his skull. He didn’t seem to be in any duress and he spent some time surveying our totopos from close proximity. We didn’t throw him one because when we had done so for another gull earlier, within seconds, 20 or more gulls were swooping in for their portions. We hadn’t realized we were the objects of such close attention, and I’m sure the waiters, pictured above, must not have appreciated it, but they were too gracious to comment. We showed appreciation by throwing no further chips, although a man next to us did. I got a wonderful shot of him eye-to-eye with a gull, but then realized my camera was on movie setting so will perhaps publish it at a later date. Tomorrow, on to Ontario, California to see Jeff and Debbie–my much-appreciated but not often seen stepson and his wife.

Concrete headboards…. The ambience of excellence? Keeps down damage? Architecturally ecstatic? Loved the pictures!

Where box springs should have been was also concrete. Basically, matresses on concrete boxes joined permanently to the floor.
