We arrived in
Mazatlan’s old harbor on March 6, 2012 and it was great to be back. For the first time since our arrival in
Mexico, we were
returning to a city. Getting settled in was
easy because we already knew were to find the market, laundry, bank, and port
captain. Knowing the lay of the land gave
us more time to focus on other activities.
Good thing because we had much to do.
Immediately after arriving, we went to work on upgrading the
six-month tourist cards we received when we first checked in to Mexico. It was hard to believe that they would soon
be expiring. We spent a couple of days
at the immigration office applying for our temporary resident visas (FM3s). Once the application process was completed, we
had eighteen days to wait for the cards to be issued. This gave us plenty of time to explore the
city, and these are some of the favorite pictures from our days in Mazatlan.
