Mon, 8 January 2007, El Fuerte (State of Sinaloa)

Decided to stay another day and see the town by day. We went to the market area and strolled. Daniele started looking at clothes; Steve saw a tiny barbershop and got a haircut for $3US. Daniele says it is the best haircut in years. We got hungry so we sat at one of the many stands where they make tacos to order. We had 5 delicious beef ones with everything, plus 2 cokes for $5US! By then, the streets were emptying for siesta. We saw a small hotel and the lady invited us in to the courtyard….beautiful! We’ve seen here that you should not judge a house by its front. As you peek down the driveway or entrance path, you will usually see a magnificent, landscaped patio and interior. We ended up at the plaza and enjoyed the quiet. Then, it was siesta time for us too. For dinner we went to a very nice restaurant and had a fantastic meal for about $40US total. Restaurant really reminded us of one you would find in Spain.
