Back to the cruise

The cruise line had to adjust our first port of call from Cabo San Lucas to Mazatlan, Mexico.  We didn’t especially find interest in the published shore excursions, so we just walked about a mile in the 96 degree stultifying heat.  The town had painted a green line from the dock to the center of town.  We followed it and located a couple of interesting sites.  The town center had a raised bandstand facing a church.  We also found a quaint home that had been made into a sort of art shop.  It also featured a small ice cream/bakery shop.  The proprietors were very friendly and let us walk around the house.  We did have one disappointment:  Evelyn wanted a pedicure and we found a place that gave them but think it was closed because it was Sunday. We did find a drug store where we bought some bottles of Diet Pepsi.  It was much less expensive there than on the ship.   We were happy to get back into the cool of the ship.  We had the first of our 2 dinners with everyone in our travel group in the evening.  I had found the long pants I had thought I had left at home, so we could go to one of the better restaurants.
