We decided to go out yesterday for appetizers and a drink, and we headed for our favorite relaxing spot, Le Sorelle. Red wine for me and a martini for Paul, and various wonderful appetizers shared for dinner. New potatoes with aoili, assorted nuts and olives, and sun dried tomato bruschetta made for a delicious meal.
The Pedro Infante monument (above) is right across and I was thinking it would be funny to set up a webcam and take a picture of it every minute for a day. So many people climb on behind him for a ride! Then I realized that with the series of pictures below, I had almost done just that!
Mazatlán really does have more beautiful sunsets than anywhere I have been. Every day is something almost more beautiful than the day before. Summer sunsets seem even more spectacular, probably because of the clouds.
I hope you enjoy the photos below. They were taken over a period of about a half hour.

August 12, 2009WOW – that is certainly one thing I “miss” here in Cancun…. My dad loves the sunsets in Mazatlan, and tells me the ones I’ve seen in PV don’t compare!
Thanks for the photos 🙂 Gorgeous!

August 12, 2009Marvelous, indeed. We are lucky to live on this coast for sunsets alone.
Jackie
August 12, 2009Wow! How beautiful those colors are. What makes the sunsets so different in your area do you think? THe yellow is a color I have seen in a susnet in Portland but not so much anywhere else.

August 13, 2009Geeze…. Those pictures are phenomenal!!! GORGEOUS sunsets! You’re so fortunate to be able to see things like that on a daily basis.

August 13, 2009I have no idea why sunsets here are so spectacular. I have heard it over and over. But I do love enjoying them. It is amazing how long the usual sunset stretches, too. Sometimes it will be an hour before the color is gone and darkness comes.

August 16, 2009Woweeee! Ask me if I am glad to be back.:-) We are going to try LaSorelle soon, as I have been hearing more and more good things about it. Always looked so deserted, so didn’t follow up. Maybe we can meet for a cocktail some time in the net couple weeksw before you head north .
Nancy
August 17, 2009Terry – Thank you so much!
Zoe – Of course you’re glad to be back! I hope you like Le Sorelle. We’d be game to get together anytime, too.
