Mazatlan

Port #2: Mazatlan
We arranged to go on an excursion to "Stone Island" which in the end, is not an island at all.  It was a rather funny experience - they loaded us into a boat and we took a 45 minute boat ride (thinking we're going to a great island in the middle of the ocean) and we turn around and park the boat across the bay from the cruise ship.  Ahhhhhh, sweet memories.  We were guests at a little restaurant (the last picture) and had the option of two activities.  We chose horse riding and a banana boat ride.  The horse ride was more like donkeys, but still nice....  not quite the "black stallion on a beach image" I was daydreaming about! 



The banana boat ride was hilarious...  just see the below image of the "speed boat."  We spent the day on the beach, reading and relaxing.
