Thursday, 28 November 28 – Today is the US Thanksgiving Day and we had calls from our children and my Niece. We had a quiet day and in the Afternoon went to Christies restaurant with Jeff & Debbie from Sailors Run for a Thanksgiving Day Dinner. There were a lot of other ex-pats enjoying a meal and celebrating. Later, we all returned to Hilbre for drinks and story telling.
Friday, 29 November 2013 – I installed a bar under our navigation table to keep one of our sail bags from sliding out. This space is usually used for a swing-out seat for the Navigation table however, we had removed the seat as the space is more valuable for storage and the seat was rarely used.
In the afternoon, we went to Sailors Run and took a look at Jeff & Debbie’s PC which needed some general maintenance to improve it’s performance. That evening, we took a bus to downtown Mazatlán for Dinner at Pedro & Lolas. As it was the weekend and the evening, the tables had spread into Plaza Machado as had the other restaurants surrounding the square. The Plaza looked much different than it does during the day, quite festive. We had a wonderful dinner with drinks before walking over to the Angela Peralta Theater for our classical concert. December is a month-long arts festival and the Theater hosts many different events.
We had excellent seats and the concert was wonderful. The main piece was Dvorak’s New World Symphony and the final piece was by Alberto Ginastera. The latter was played with such Mexican Gusto that it had everyone on their feet. We returned to Hilbre by Taxi.
Saturday, 30 November 2013 – We needed some supplies so we took the Bus to the Mega-Store and a taxi home.

Sunday, 1 December 2013 – The Mazatlán Marathon was held today with the runners passing very close to the Marina. It was interesting to watch with many individuals participating in the event, some in stages from 3K to a full Marathon. Everyone was enjoying themselves and as usual in Mexico, it was all very festive.
In the late afternoon, we took the bus to Cerritos with Lane & Vicki for dinner at Mr. Lionoso and were able to watch a very pretty sunset from our table.
