Part 4
We went to Mazatlán the next day. It had been several years since ships docked there. They had high crime for a while. We were their fifth boat in 10 months. Now, in March alone, they'll have 17! It was a beautiful city, so that's good.

| You can tell it isn't as touristy as most. Those aren't hotels. |
We did an excursion that showed us the whole town since we would have no clue what to do on our own. It was fun!

| The Cathedral |
The Cathedral in Mazatlan was built in the late 1800s with donor money. At one point right before it was finished, they ran out of money. A Jewish group in the area donated the rest needed. That's why in the top of the picture above, you can see a Star of David in between the towers. In each stained glass window inside, a Star of David is in the top.
Mazatlán is famous for cliff divers, so we went and watched them too. When a crowd gathers, someone goes and jumps.
We went to a resort for lunch, a show, and some beach time after that. We also got to shop around a bit.

| They only use corn tortillas. I CAN EAT HERE. |
The beach was kind of pathetic, so we just went back to the boat after the show and I didn't even take a picture. Believe it or not, I didn't touch any sand on the entire trip.
