Many of the 100,000 plus visitors are young college students from Hermosillo and they come to party! Even though there were far fewer visitors this year, the town and beach were hopping, from families camped on the beach to late night music parties in town.
Fred and I ventured out on foot Friday afternoon to see how things were progressing. Things were as usual with most of the restaurants closed down. The partiers and campers just want tacos and beer...no real sit down meals.
Yesterday we watched the party from a restaurant that left their roof top bar open for curious tourists like us. It was a fun afternoon.
The pink slip on Joan and Dave's vehicle indicates that they are local residents and have the right to pass the barricades to get home. The police try to keep the visitors on the main drag. We never take our vehicle out of Tecalai during Semana Santa so we don't bother buying the pink slip.
