| Every year on January 24 the town of Bucerias celebrates the Blessing of the Fleet for the local fisherman and boats. The decorated boats are brought on the beach to be blessed the the Padre, then a church service follows in the nice old church at the town square. |
 |
| Last year I was on one of these fishing pangas with my buddy Ethan. The swell was big and the fisherman needed a few more beers for courage before we made the beach landing. |
 |
| Fireworks are a big part of any festival here in Mexico. |
 |
| After the beach ceremony the whole town gathered in the small church for mass. |
 |
| Everyone is dressed up for the parade thru town. |
 |
| My lunch was a mixed seafood salad. Shrimp, octopus, scallops with cucumber, onion, tomato and avacado. Yum! |
 |
| Ahhh....Mexico! |
 |
| Of course here a festival is not a festival without this... |
 |
| Many Mexican cowboys with their dancing horses. |
 |
| 4 out of 5 Mexican cowboys prefer Modelo to other Mexican beers. |
What a great festival--seafood, beer, beautiful Mexican woman, cowboys, and beer.
