By Bob Ruggiero Richard and Judy Kelly, Beacons Reach residents, recently returned from a month long visit to Mazatlan, Mexico. Rich was first introduced to Mazatlan while a Marine stationed at 29 Palms, California. He and a buddy traveled to Mexico and both fell in love with the area and the people. Far from the madding crowds in Acapulco and Cozumel, Mazatlan offere(J a quiet, peaceful location that had all the charm of restful views of the Pacific Ocean and also friendly local residents. Years later Rich returned and now owns a time-share condo on the beach. Frequented by Americans from Washington, Minnesota and Wisconsin, and tourists from Canada, the location still retains its original charm. Rich tells me that the money exchange rate is 10 pesos to one dollar and the fishing is still terrific. Included in this article is a picture of Rich with a Permit fish that he caught and had for dinner that night.

The trip was organized to benefit the Fort Macon Sail and Power Squadron sft jJ« * :f: Dick and Linda Cumberland just returned from a seven-day trip to China. Their itinerary included a flight from Raleigh to Chicago and thence to Beijing. They stayed at the Jinlin Hotel in Beijing, within walking distance of Tiananmen Square. Visits included the Forbidden City, the treasure-filled Imperial Palace and, of course, a walk atop the Great Wall. Linda advises that if you plan a trip to China and wish to walk to the top of the Great Wall, be sure to pack comfortable walking shoes. My feet hurt just thinking about walking to the heights of the Great Wall. Details of this trip are included in an adjacent article.
