Marathon in Mazatlan
I went for a 3 or so mile walk today - down the road next to a marathon and back along the beach. I walked clear down around the furthest point in this photo.
I didn't make it out to the street until most of the runners had passed by - but I did get to see quite a few~*
Agua passage
Water was being handed to runners in cups and sealed square plastic bags. The runners that got the bags would bite open the corners and either drink the water or pour it over them - drop the cups and bags and keep on trucking. As you can see the street was littered with cups and bags for about 1/4 mile.

Birds of San Blas area
hawk
(I have yet to identify... hawks as it seems are tough for me to identify in the book I bought)
This is an Osprey - thanks Mike for your help identifying :)

Baby Crocodile
we saw a BIG one, but I didn't get a great pic of it as it was behind some trees - muy scary! :)

Nighthawk
there are many varieties of Nighthawks - I am still stumped which this one is, as they are all quite similar looking :)

San Blas, Boats, Mangrove, Swimming, Crocodiles and Birds - lots and lots of birds!
*~This is not the exact river boat we used - but it was just like it~*
We took a 2 hour ride up La Tovara, thru the mangrove and ended at a natural spring where we got to jump in. Once we returned we realized we had been gone for 4 hours!

Our Mangrove guide and boat driver extraordinaire - Miguel
AKA: Aquaman (I talked him into swimming with us)
He was actually VERY informative and helpful with finding and identifying birds on the trip!
