Our plan for Mazatlan was to spend our time at the beach. We started by taking a brief walk into the Old Town and looking around, then hopping on a public bus to get to the Golden Zone (aka Tourist zone) to find a good beach. When we were at the beach, there were vendors constantly walking past trying to sell us just about anything you can think of. It got to the point that Claire started saying "No, gracias" for us when they walked by.

| Greta loved the waves in the water |

| Claire mostly just played in the sand. And ate popsicles. |

| Mazatlan is known for having open-air taxis called pulmonias. We took one to get back to the cruise ship. As you can see, Greta had reached her limit at this point. |

The following day our ship stopped in Cabo San Lucas. This is where we had our big splurge: the dolphin encounter. We had been prepping Claire for weeks and showing her videos so that she wouldn't be frightened of the dolphins. It was a big hit with the girls. Our dolphin's name was Amaya. We all to to pet her, kiss her, hold her fins, touch her nose, etc. Unfortunately this is a memory we will have to just keep in our minds because the price they were charging for photos would have been more expensive than the cost of all of our tickets combined.
The dolphin encounter occupied pretty much all of our time in Cabo, especially since we had to travel to San Jose del Cabo. Mark and I had visions of eating delicious street tacos and finding more amazing paletas like we did on our honeymoon, but we simply didn't have the time. We're not overly disappointed; the girls still had a fabulous time which was the whole purpose of the trip.
