Carnaval in Etzatlan

So it's Carnaval weekend here in Etzatlan and there is a lot going on in town. 

We had wanted to see a fancy horse show at the bull ring on Friday afternoon, but unfortunately it got cancelled. Still, there's a lot of other stuff going on, and most of it is free.

We hung around the campground most of the day. We had our video interview for a house sit near Aberdeen, Scotland and that went very well. We'll be looking after Loki, the 7 year old chocolate lab and a bunch of chickens and quails for 12 days in June.

Our host Bonnie was going into town and offered to meet us there for something to eat at the agriculture show.

We headed into town a little bit early and went to the central plaza. Lots of people out with their families, and many dressed up in their best cowboy gear. We are certain that there are far more cowboys in Mexico than there are in Texas!

Even the girls are wearing the cowboy gear.
Notice the one girl with a bottle of tequila in her hand.

Everybody comes out and hangs around the central plaza with their drinks of choice. Lots of music and just a general party atmosphere.

Off to the agriculture show.

Lots of horse gear for sale. 

He's a big fellow!

This mule was enjoying a scratch behind the ears.

We sat and had some grilled meat!

Kids love the bouncy castle.

Cute little burro.



Today is our last full day in Etzatlan because we are headed east on Monday morning.
