We did our 2 mile walk around the park yesterday morning, and made some skype calls back to Canada. I did the vacuuming, and Ruth defrosted the freezer. Then Ruth cut my hair yesterday morning. We had left over tamales heated up in the frying pan for lunch. They were just as good the second day. Relaxed in the afternoon, and took a photo of our shorts and t-shirt weather...
A few clouds, with the temperature about 24C (75F).
Perfect!
Around 4:00pm, it was time to get ready to go to the fiesta next door. Two babies had been christened earlier in the day, and of course there has to be a big fiesta to celebrate. It was taking place on the property right next door, and Sal and Barb had been invited and they were welcome to bring the campers. We never turn down an invite to a Mexican fiesta! Only two other campers went, but there was also some of Sal's family.
This turned out to be a fairly fancy event! We figure there were probably 250 people.
Our table. The couple on the upper right are Coco and Lupita and we are invited to their wedding this coming Thursday!
There was a band, and they played almost non stop the whole night! They were really good. The music they play it called "musica trio", which is music of a more soft and romantic genre.

Sal's aunt and his mother.
Nothing like a little tequila and Squirt at a religious event!
There were lots of children there, and they were so well behaved.
Another great day. Wonder what today will bring...? Maybe we'll go for a bike ride into town.
What a way to celebrate the day with Two babies being christened! The celebration looks lovely. Is this a usual event that takes place on Christmas day in Mexico?
ReplyDeleteYou two looks so relaxed without a care in the world.
Gotta love the weather and all. The hospitality of the Mexican people is just amazing, they sure know how to celebrate. Glad you had a great day!
ReplyDeletePaul and Marsha...No, I don't believe that it is a regular thing. They seem to just pick a day either for a wedding or a christening. Another reason for doing it on or around Christmas is that family are home visiting. Traditional Christmas celebrations in Mexico are held on Christmas Eve so Christmas Day itself is not as a big event as it is at home.
ReplyDeleteYou have so much fun - I love how you travel - nothing better than meeting the locals and spending time with them - keep on having a great time!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to spend your Christmas Day. Have a Happy New Year, and thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteNever lonely in Mexico, that is for certain. Enjoy today.

ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays to you!
We also had a lovely warm Xmas day. The fiesta sounds a lot of fun with great food and music.
ReplyDeleteMost excellent, I think joining in local events are some of the best parts of travelling. Enjoy the wedding.
