Just another day bumming around Mazatlan.
No Drama
Recently we were contacted by the producers of an upcoming reality-style parenting television show. They seemed to think we would be the perfect fit for the show which is to be about unusual parenting styles. Two Americans having kids in Mexico to live on a sailboat qualifies as that I … Read More
Killer Iguana
This morning we took the gang over to the aquarium. We like wandering around the grounds there more than we like the actual aquarium. While we were standing around looking at the crocodiles we heard a loud thump. We turned to see a huge orange iguana had fallen out of … Read More
I Could Use a Sweatshirt
Today was one of those windy cloudy days where nobody can really get motivated to do much but go out to eat. Of course the kids aren’t down with that so I get nominated to do the swimming on the rooftop with them. Once my lips turn blue I am … Read More
Mi Familia
Our neice and Ali’s parents arrived for a visit yesterday. I can’t tell you how excited Ouest was to see them all. She’s been talking about playing with Lea for a week now, discussing all the fun things they were going to do together. Today they went swimming, read books, … Read More

Parks and Recreation

Some Beach Time
This morning we walked around at the far south end of the beach where Old Town begins and where all the fishermen and their boats are situated. It’s an interesting area full of salty men who look as if they have been coming here each and every morning since they … Read More
Aquarium Bunnies
The Mazatlan Aquarium is right down the street from us and is actually pretty well regarded as far as that sort of thing goes. Always looking for new ways to entertain the kids we figured sharks just might do the trick. And it was a pretty nice aquarium—nice enough in … Read More
JJ Turns 31
My brother turned 31 today. There is a boring age to celebrate. Thirty-one? Who cares? I’ll tell you who cares—Ouest cares. And why does Ouest care? Because birthday’s mean cupcakes. End of story.
Ladies Man
This morning we wandered around Old Town Mazatlan for a bit, had some breakfast, and took a few pictures. Mazatlan surprises me every time with how interesting a place it is. Seems like it should be all about tourism, and it is I suppose if you head to the north … Read More
