The Historic Center of Mazatlan is a feast for the eyes.

We continued our walk in the Centro Historico on Wednesday. We were on our way to this amazing building which houses the restaurant Via Condotti. We were hoping to sit outside but all those tables were full. 

The ceiling inside. 

And this is what we went for Quiche Lorraine with salad. For a while a few years back they quit serving it. If you wanted some you had to buy the whole quiche, which we did a few times. So we were delighted to find it back on the menu. Yum. 

Some pictures from the inside. Looks like Audrey Hepburn to me.

Bill talking to one of the waiters as we were leaving. 

Some pictures of the outside of the building. The tile and wood work around the windows and the balconies. 

Another view of it. 

Tile on the underside of the balcony too. And along the roof line. 

This building is across the street. It is the Casa Haas. Many years ago we got to see the whole inside of it with the contractor who was doing the restoration. Again I have written a lot about it. You can find it by using search feature for the blogs. 

A group of school children were in the building which is now housing a selection of Carnaval Queen's gowns from the past. 

Continuing on down the street towards the Plazuela Machado. This whole street is amazing. Notice the yellow metal gates. They are to control the crowds during Carnaval which started the 12th. When I'm writing this. 

Just pictures of the area we were walking through. 

This building was restored several years ago. Some interesting features on it. 

The other side of the street. 
Tile steps and flooring at the restaurant we eat at on Friday evenings while listening to music. 

Oh, oh, looks like some kind of piping problem. The guy in the blue shirt was really working hard to break up the ground with a steel pole. 

I was really glad this year to see that the Pacific Pearl magazine was being published again. Their office is now in the Plazuela Machado. I always look forward to it coming out while we were in the RV. 

In front of the Angela Peralta Theater, she is intent on where she is going. 

The Music School building on the corner of Constitucion and Carnaval. The first Pulmonia was built here in December of 1965.

Look at the detail on the top of this building. 

"It is typical of those with narrow minds to be against every thing that does not fit within their code." I can't make out who is being quoted. 

Just a street scene. 

There is a gift shop in there. A really neat place. 

More older colorful buidlings. 

Another utility box with a quote. " Here even a poor person feels like a millionaire...,How beautiful everything is in Mazatlan."  Jose Alfredo Jimenez   he was a popular singer and actor 

Colors every where!

This used to have a flower vine painted on it, it was a women's boutique then. Now I don'ts know. But I like the horse.

We picked up my now black sandals from the shoe repair man and went on home.
