Our second port we stopped at was Matzatlan. The ten of us chartered a private boat to take us out to see the sights and then take us snorkeling. First we saw some small islands with birds, caves and sea lions.
Then our guides took us to a spot where we could snorkel. The water didn't look too clear but the guys all jumped in to try it out while the girls decided to wait and see.
After about 10 minutes with no luck at seeing anything more than a foot in front of you we decided to pull anchor and try somewhere else.
They took us to this cove in the rocks where the water was clear and we were able to see lots of colorful fish and sea urchins stuck to the rocks. We also searched for seashells. After snorkeling for a while we went into town for lunch and shopping. These are the taxi's that we took, they look more like golf carts.
Matzatlan was definitely more authentic mexican and not as built up touristy.
We stopped at this road side grill for some lunch. It was really cheap and pretty good also! Then we walked around and did some shopping. We found another taxi driver that was willing to take us to some other shopping areas as well as show us some sights. We went to this beautiful cathedral.
We had a good time in Matzatlan. On the way back into the ship Trulee and I had to stop and get a picture with one of the guardsmen. Check out his gun!
