Thank you.

Well as you've seen so far, Mexico certainly isn't lacking in variety, wonderful people, animals, and one crazy woman who flew high above the bay of Acapulco in a parachute.

[00:00:40]
You know, so many people have asked me if I liked it, and what it was like, but I want to tell you there was one wonderful moment.

[00:00:49]
That was when I got back down, safely on the solid ground of Mexico.

[00:00:55]
Now let's all of us get back down to Mexico. Just strap up your parachutes and let's go!

Don't laugh, this might be happening by tomorrow.

[00:01:18]
So the nice thing for us about spending the winter in Mexico is that we could get the newspapers from home but not the weather.

[00:01:26]
Basking in this happy thought, we were staying at a terrific new resort hotel in Mazatlán. Atop rugged rocks, it was built in 1971.

[00:01:39]
Along a golden stretch of sand and sea, encompassing to us the best of two worlds: Itself and the adjacent city of Mazatlán.

[00:01:50]
Mazatlán spreads out gracefully to its miles of sweeping beaches. Located on the northwest coast, it's one of Mexico's best and least expensive resorts.

[00:02:01]
The breezy beaches that front the entire city give it an unusual wide open spaciousness. But you know, with all the many broad beaches, isn't it strange how so many like to crowd all into one area?

[00:02:16]
Along with beaches, Mazatlán's famous for both commercial and some of the best deep-sea sport fishing in the world.

[00:02:27]
So armed with curiosity, a taste for adventure, and a good supply of Dramamine, we decided to try our hand at it.

[00:02:37]
What we should have brought along for this sport was a supply of vitamins and a comb.

[00:02:43]
Each year, over one million pounds of game fish are caught here and right now they all seem to be on Jeanne's line.

[00:02:50]
Fortunately, the captain gave not only encouragement, but his strength to help terminate the struggle.
