The ferry ride. Not sure what to make of the elevation profile… the sea was rolling drunkenly at one point, but not like this

There were about 8 cyclists on this ferry. We were told to lean all our bikes together in a heap on the bottom deck

Loading of the vehicles took several hours. It was interesting watching the truck drivers maneuver the trailers in the small space

Firing up the engines

And we’re off!

My seat. There was a lot of shuffling around and I had both seats at one point, which was kind of nice, but I ended up on a bench on deck where the air was fresher and less snoring

It was a long night, I got little rest

But we got there

Tug boat delivering the pilot

Miguel and I ended up seat mates at one point. He’d noticed me when I was leaving La Paz, then again on the road. We had some satisfying long and deep conversations only strangers can have, and parted friends

Mazatlán malecón

In the city Central Park

Interesting wiring

Salsa

Macaroons. This might become a regular snack

Central market which I didn’t go in because I had my bike

Found a street of flower shops

And a street selling crustaceans

I’m reluctant to try these

Plaza in front of the basilica

The basilica

Shoe shine row in the plaza

A house which caught my eye

The bicycle ride
