Dan and Berni have a timeshare on the north end of Mazatlan. On Monday morning Berni and I went there to spend two nights. It is a charming resort with a swimming pool and beach. We mainly came here to just hang out and relax.

This morning Berni and I went to a cooking class. We made four different types of tacos, two vegetarian, one chicken and one fish. The vegetarian ones were very interesting and delicious. The chicken one was with a mole sauce. She gave us quite a bit of information about cooking in different parts of Mexico. She certainly got my interest in going to Oaxaca for its cuisine. Berni and I are going to try to go there next year.

Tomorrow afternoon I leave for Portland. I understand it might be snowing when I get there. Quite a shock to go from palm trees to snow in one day. I’m not exactly looking forward to it.
