The weekend just passed saw us at the San Felipe shrimp festival. Along with other varieties of fish, there is a whole shrimp fishing industry in this small town. The Fishman usually send there catch to other countries. It is a good source of currency for the local economy.
What and enormous party with over 100 street vendors stretched out along the ocean promenade it was quite a sight. They were selling everything from Mexican trinkets to full meals, to shots of tequila
, bottles of tequila etc. etc.
There were swimming events, bicycle races, and lots of great music and even a midway with rides.
Also since San Felipe is the home of the Mexican rowing team, there were several occasions when many rowing skulls were out practicing, or racing for all I know on the oceanfront just in front of where we were camped
