Semana Santa in LB: Holy Cow!

Semana Santa is a holiday that is either dreaded or kind of excitedly anticipated by Gringos. As the beer towers stack up, volley ball nets are installed and families begin staking out their encampments, everyone starts talking about their strategy for doing Semana Santa ( the Holy Week leading up to Easter).

Our strategy is to go to Mar Y Sol for a couple nights. (Has never seemed wise to rent to someone expecting a peaceful beach and instead they get a mariachi band that sounds like it’s on the deck). The stage was bigger than last year, but seemed like fewer encampments. The waves got pretty choppy but we paddled out to listen to music. Some advanced paddling especially when holding up the phone… hence why video is brief.

Once we were told that sometimes strangers come in to town and break ins can occur. We really haven’t heard about anyone getting broken into but it finally happened to us.

It would have been worse but we we left Mar Y Sol early when friends told us their was a HUGE stage on beach. Obviously there was going to be some great music.

Hope we will be able to open the videos but especially the atv one is worth the download wait. We always talk about globalization should be about collecting all the good stuff from all the countries around the world….and this one’s a keeper. (Now free range cows and dogs are for another discussion)

Then does some beautiful dances… nice.

Ok must get this done so we can move on to the ECLIPSE!!!!

A father daughter dance…. Definitely a time to think about time passing by and to try our best to grab the fun out of every moment whenever you can. It all flys by so fast and how lucky we are to have each other…. Yup a little tear in all of our eyes!
