Wednesday/ out and about 🌞

It was another sunny and cloudless day here in Mazatlán (76°F /24°C ).

This morning, we went for a walk up the main lookout hill here on the shoreline (Cerro del Vigía).

This afternoon, we ran out to the local Sam’s Club (warehouse grocery store) for grocery shopping. We went there by bus and came back with a little Uber car with its trunk and back seat full of groceries.  

Rocky outcroppings on the coastline, seen from the street above as we walk towards Cerro del Vigía.
This is Isla El Crestón (Crestón Island) that is right by Cerro del Vigía. There is a lighthouse at the top of the Crestón Island hill.
Almost at the top of the steps that lead up to the outlook at the top of Cerro del Vigía.

The cruise ship at the Mazatlán cruise port is the Royal Princess. She set sail late afternoon for Long Beach, California.
A vista of Old Mazatlán from the top of Cerro del Vigía. Look for the yellow Catedral Basílica de la Inmaculada Concepción, a beautiful 19th-century Baroque-Revival church.
The towering condo buildings at the top left are on Avenida del Mar, the road that runs along the promenade called Malecón Mazatlán. We would drive right by them later in the day.

Our bus looked like this one.
There is the church: the Catedral Basílica de la Inmaculada Concepción. I will take close-up pictures of it later this week.
Looking towards Old Mazatlán and Isla El Crestón from the Uber car on Avenue del Mar the way back from Sam’s Club.
(Optical illusion: it looks as if there is no sand and as if the surf is breaking onto the pavement, but there is a drop to the beach and the sand from the edge of the promenade’s paving. )
Here are the condo buildings on Avenue del Mar that could be seen from the Cerro del Vigía lookout this morning.
Looking back, while still on Avenue del Mar.
It looks like someone is getting ready for some parasailing at the beach that runs along the Mazatlán promenade (Malecón Mazatlán).
