Cruise to the Mexican Riviera

 Last April we took a cruise to the Mexican Riviera.   We  were  in Mazatlan, Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta.   I was  struck by the beautiful scenery and wide variety of  tourist attractions contrasted to the poverty I found in many areas.  Below are some of the pictures I took.
