We are home

 Very short update. We are home. All planes were on schedule and arrived at destination early. Had 2 1/2 hour layover in Phoenix. Took the time to have something to eat. Arrived in Vegas a few minutes early. We both had wheelchairs all the way. Thank goodness. Our son picked up us right after we got to pick up area. Everything at home is fine. Weather will be warmer than Mazatlan! Today will be spent getting things put away, catching up on mail and ordering groceries. 

Bill was exhausted by the time went to bed. Still sleeping at 8:00 a.m. Very glad to be home. also glad we went. 

Have things to do like order groceries etc. 

Basically just checking in.

We haven't done very much for the last couple of days. Friday Bill didn't feel well most of the day. Only went out for a meal. The prednisone really really makes him sick. He tried taking it at night but then his eyelid drooped about half way through the day. So for two days he's taken it in the morning and almost immediately gets sick. He always takes it after eating. At night he just went to bed and by morning was feeling okay. But..

These were taken Wednesday at dinner at Torres. Had to look it up. 

It finished like this. 

Cruise ship all lit up just came from around the island. 

One afternoon when he was feeling a little better we took a short walk. I think this used to be a social club. It is closed now and she is falling apart. 

This is the famous Fat Fish where we get the RIBS. Went there again on Thursday night. 

This was taken, at same table and restaurant 10 years ago. Size of ribs has changed. New tables and chairs too. 

The plates are now oval instead of round and the meal is more expensive. But still pretty darn cheap and very good. He looks happy. 

Don't know why I was looking so weird. Wondering where to start I guess. The plate in the foreground is Marks .

So now for the elephant in the room. All the unrest in Mexico for those of you who have seen it is quite a ways away from us. Nothing is going on in Mazatlan. The airport is open and flights are going in and out. Thank goodness as we leave here tomorrow. Nothing has been set on fire and life goes on as usual.

Odds and ends

 Most of these are pictures from a few days ago that I didn't get around to posting. My sandals that I had dyed black. I just have to break them in now. Will do that when I get home. 

Another breakfast at Torres. As you probably guessed we like to eat there. Mainly for the friendly waiters and the atmosphere and views. 

These two boats were way out by the horizon. At first I thought the one on the right was a fishing boat but looking at it better it looks like a catamaran. 

This is a fishing boat, the waves are almost bigger than it. 

We love watching pelicans flying inches above the water. 

For a minute I thought these were going to come right in the restaurant, zoomed up and over though.  We were talking about the difference between these brown pelicans and the white ones we see at home.  The brown pelicans are called Divers for the way they dramatically dive into the water to catch fish. Also they live in saltwater. The white Pelicans scoop the fish from the water and live in and around fresh water. White Pelicans live inland, brown near the coasts,

On the other side of the restaurant live the iguanas. There were five of them out on the fake rocks by the pool. 

No idea, OH just figured it out. he is facing away from me. That is why he looks like he is winking, cant see the other eye.  

According to the landscaper this is called The Bishop's Balls. There used to be a big bush now just a small one. He says they are almost impossible to transplant. They just shrivel up and die if transplanted. 

The next day heading across town. I just cannot get a really good picture of the old Valentino's building. Over the last several years it has been restored and is now housing several businesses. 

Just a picture to show how big these things are. Still lots of tourists in town. 

Umbrellas for the beach goers. 

Just liked the way this turned out.

Looks like the diver was getting ready to dive. There was a cruise ship in town so they get a lot of people watching which means a tips. You couldn't pay me enough to do that. I wouldn't even go up the stairs to get to the diving platform. 

Another breakfast - seems like all we do is eat. That will be changing when we get home. Think I've gained a bunch of weight. Back to La Antigua in Centro. So pretty there and great crepes. 

The coffee cream is in the Eifel tower and the sugars in the pail. Think that is cute. 

The old paving on the floor is cracking in a few places. That is a rain drain between the pavers and the tile. The paver part of the dining area has no roof. The old patio of the house. 

An old bicycle as decoration. 

Lots of plants. Another view of rain drain. 

Inside, Love the use of tile.

I wouldn't mind living in a room like this. 

Walking back towards Centro. Wonder how old this tree is? 

And from here the pictures are on yesterday's blog. I forgot to charge my camera's battery so had to use my phone for the rest of the day.

Only four more sleeps and we'll be home. Hope it warms up some there by then.
