THE HOLY WEEK

Mexican Holy week is Awsome. The last week we have been slowly working our way north from Puerto Vallata to Mazatlan stopping and spendingthe night ata bunch of little beach towns. Unbeknowst to us the week after Easter in Mexico is a rather large celebration week. So every beach has been packed with tourists coming from the bigcities inland to celebrate their lord and savior by consuming copius amounts of alcohol and food and dancing up a storm in the streets while the local brass bands play. This to us has made the week so much better and I am surprised at how much more tolerable tourists are when I am in Mexico and the toutists are Mexican. The food has been great. The music a joy and the dancing fun. The one strain has been the incessant use of loud dance music. Mexicans seem to love this stuff day and night and although I personally am in heaven the rest of the crew are struggling a bit. Especially when it is blasting across the bay at 7 in the morning. I could not think of anything better to wake up too( bar of course my wife but then I already have that).

So up the coast we go and with our bellies full and ears more in tune to the beat we are merrily setting course for the sea of Cortez.
