Mexico-- Part 4

I spent three nights in Bucerias, on the north rim of the Bay of Banderas. This town celebrates a Fiesta de la Virgen de la Paz (or Festival for the Virgin of the Peace) for ten days each January which happened to be as I was passing through. The festival has it's share of Mexican carnival food, rides and games but also provided the attendees with a nightly show. Here are some of the images from the two nights I attended.

Mexico-- Part 3

The week after a vacation is always hard. Especially when your vacation was in a place as beautiful as Mexico. I spent two weeks down in Mexico. The second week was with Delia and our friends in Sayulita. The first week I traveled alone to Chacala (Population 277), a small fishing village about 90 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta and Bucerias, on the north rim of the Bay of Banderas. Below is a shot of Chacala.

Puerto Vallarta, the major city in the Bay of Banderas, has a beachfront Malacon or walkway with many original sculptures and other types of artwork.
