San Blas, Mexico

Arrived Mazatlan early afternoon, did a circuit of old town, found it uninspiring, so we twisted throttle and headed south on 15 towards Tepic. Heard about a charming little coastal pueblo so when the sun got low we headed west through the forests, avocado and mango groves (or is it orchards) to San Blas.
The town is as advertised and more except there must be a Holiday Inn or Motel 6 around because at night all these really special people invaded the plaza saying things like. "Remind me again, what's in a burrito?" - kinda that special tacky that can only truly be perfected in new jersey. We left out of embarrassment keeping our eyes open for the motor coach (aka bus) that had to be close by.
We looked for a good Greek resto and, finding none, had the usual (tacos and a beer). Then I got my head handed to me playing pool.
The GS in the foto isn't mine - I'm still on the 650 VStrom - initially the girls kinda snickered at it but after today they're reconsidering.
Tomorrow we head (you guessed it) South.
A Good Day.
