Robbie's dad owns the hotel, the Hotel
Playa Mazatlan, so we got a really good rate at the best hotel in
town.
|
|
|
|
The pool was awesome, a big salt-water
pool they kept very warm. We took advantage of it pretty much every
day. |
|
|
|
We put Amelie in the pink UV protection
suit that we bought in Maui. |
|
|
|
She is a total water baby, and she
especially likes sitting on Naomi's back while Naomi swims. Every
time we walked by the pool Amelie was pointing and shouting to get
back in the pool. |

|
The hotel had this little pool off to the
side. It was entirely heated by the sun, and it got hot like a
bathtub. It was pretty shallow and was like a big jacuzzi you could
relax in before going inside. |
|
|
|
The water would come almost all the way up
to the hotel, and it was cold, but not too bad. It was easy to jump
in and play. Huntington Beach has a lot colder water. |
|
|
|
There were all kinds of vendors trying to
sell stuff on the beach, but they're not having much luck with
Amelie here. The problem was, if you expressed an interest in what
they were selling, all the other ones would descend on you like
vultures. It was a little depressing. |
|
|
|
Amelie would sit for a long time doing the
same thing, picking up sand and then throwing it behind her. You can
kinda see the sand on her shoulders from this. She was pretty good
about not eating the sand, which was cool because that's just nasty. |

|
This is the view of the hotel from the
beach. |

|
|
Our room was right off the beach, through
this narrow hallway. The hotel was really a great hotel. We would
see them sweeping and moping the same floor many times throughout
the day. Robbie's grandmother was the one that really turned the
hotel into what it is today. |
