Friday favorites: Mazatlán in a picture a day

We are enjoying 10 days at El Sol La Vida in beautiful Mazatlán, so I have much to be happy about this week; so much so, that’s it’s difficult to narrow the list to something manageable for one Friday Favorites post. Therefore, I’m going to fall back on my trusty a-picture-a-day format.

Friday, April 6: Catching an early morning flight out of Salt Lake City Airport

    Of course, when you spend a couple of weeks in beautiful Mazatlán, it’s easy to be grateful.

Anyway…without further ado… Thank you Mazatlán for the tasty food…
