Mazatlan mixes history with glitz
Just after dawn joggers hit the malecon, a 17-mile stretch of ocean-side boardwalk connecting historic Mazatlan with its encroaching hip side.
As the day heats up, families with beach towels and young men lugging surfboards replace the morning exercise shift. By evening, as the sun dips into the Pacific, painting the darkening sky coral, couples stroll hand-in-hand along the walkway that serves as the pulse of this Mexican city.
What do you want from your trip to Mexico? Banana boat rides leaving from a golden beach and dance floors bathed in pulsating lights or tours of a historic Italian-style opera house and a stroll through an open-air market with fresh meat hanging from hooks and hand-tooled huaraches stacked nearby? Quick detours from either side of this boardwalk give you both in this schizophrenic port.

They piled into their rented Crown Victoria and drove across town, only to be told by a Phoenix police officer outside the Patriots hotel that they needed credentials to get inside and that, in fact, they were not even allowed in the parking lot. Panic ensued. Jerry Shanahan, a 53-year-old auto body shop owner, showed the officer a cloudy, faxed ticket confirmation. The officer was unimpressed. Shanahan then stated his case and even begged a little. And finally, the officer caved. He agreed to escort the Shanahans inside to the will call window. But he ordered them to stay with him. And when Derek Shanahan attempted to take a picture, the officer snapped. "No! No! No!" he said. It was cocktail hour inside the hotel. Friends and family members of the Patriots mingled over drinks.
