We had a great weekend in Culiacan, Mexico. Its a diverse city full of culture and entertainment.

The city welcomed us with open arms and we met numerous locals that were more than kind. We enjoyed a great meal at Cabannas which is a more hip version of Los Arcos Seafood restaurant that is owned by the same entity (Gobernador Pizza Below).
