Shrimp Festival




Even though I am fighting a wicked cold, we rode our bikes to the new shopping plaza to attend the annual shrimp fest. If you are a connoisseur of fresh shrimp, this was the place to be. For 25 pesos ($2.10 Cdn) per plate, you could sample shrimp cooked many different ways - fried, boiled, breaded, or in sauces. Most of the local restaurants and hotels had a booth selling samples of their shrimp plates.

This was a popular place for Gringos and Mexicans alike, as was displayed by the huge crowd. There was a small playground for kids, local bands for the young at heart and a beer garden for the rest.
