After about a month in Mazatlan, we're getting a little tired of seafood. I never thought I would say this. But having fish, shrimp, octopus, and oysters every week makes me yearn for....chicken.
Fortunately, a couple of blocks from us, a family raises chickens and has a small stand on the side of the road. Here, whole chickens are grilled over charcoal. One chicken is more than enough for both of us for two meals.

The chicken comes with rice, salad, tortillas and fresh salsa--for less than $10. Upon ordering a chicken, the woman in charge chops it up into easy to handle pieces and bags everything up to go.
All of the Chicken here is free range, which produces both delicious meat and beautiful yolks. Eggs are about $2.50/dozen at either the mercado or grocery store.
One thing that I'll never forget about Mazatlan are the sunsets and sunrises. This week, shortly after sunset, we saw both Jupiter and Venus easily visible in the dusky sky.
This morning, the full moon was breathtaking just before dawn at 5:40 a.m. on my morning walk with Callie.

Twenty minutes later, and I could see the sun coming up on the other end of the beach.
