Day 3 we followed the coast to the seaside bay of Chacala where we stayed at Mar de Jade [Sea of Jade.] Our most expensive, but interesting lodging. We stayed there 2 nights.
Our 5th day out of PV we found ourselves in the former Mexican Pacific Coast Naval Center, San Blas. We stayed at Hacienda Flamingos, a former German consulate. Also known as the "Home of the No-See-ums," we departed the next day.
Our final day and night on the road we slalomed around potholes on the way to Teacapan. That evening we wandered by a wild day after wedding party and for some reason were invited to come in and partied on for several hours!
The next day, more potholes took their toll. I blew a tire, and after some friendly shrimp farmers helped me change it, we limped on in to Mazatlan. There we spent several days with Allan and Susan Fiksdal [Chris's near cousin, from Olympia] who had just been traveling mainly interior Mexico for the past several weeks.
