Boca de Igaunas
I went up to Boca de Igaunas to check out a 5th wheel trailer that was for sale in the area and just had to check out the beach conditions. Always a nice beach and a good flat walk from La Manzanilla.
The local Abarrote (grocery) and restaurant was just the same - dirt floors and all. The local crocodile was there but sunning himself this time. The Boca de Iguanas Hotel has built condos out to the road entrance. At least the Hotel has not tried to close the beach like they did last year so the people that rent tables and umbrellas are back and it's easy to get to the beach.

2010 Fiesta La Manzanilla
2010 Fiesta La Manzanilla: Feb 5 - 7, 2010

Mark your calendars, dust off your hat, and polish your boots! Fiesta time in La Manzanilla is just around the corner! It is said to be the 100th Anniversary Year of the Revolution that resulted in land ownership for the common man.
Even the smallest villages throughout Mexico traditionally hold a Fiesta de Toros to celebrate their emancipation ‘way back when’ from Spanish landowners. Individual fiestas coincide with the date their Ejido was formally enacted, giving the people management of the land on which they’d previously been, basically, slaves. La Manzanilla’s anniversary date of this original Ejidal formation is February 6th. This year they have planned a three day celebration which includes “Gringo Day”, the day when expat residents of La Manzanilla officially thank our Mexican hosts for their hospitality and forbearance,
This year Gringo Day is Friday February 5th - the first day of Fiesta La Manzanilla. This is the first of 3 days of fun, food, beer, dancing, bull riding (for the experts), powerfully tasty punch, and lots of music in the air. The day is sponsored by all of us ex-pats (Gringo types) who regularly visit La Manzanilla while our Mexican townsfolk/hosts attend the mid-day meal of birria at the Casino free of charge.

Jolanda's for some food
We wanted to eat after a quick trip to Tenacatita, the Racilla distillery tour and checking Bill's lot in Agua Caliente. I also had some towels for a La Manz motel that a Ajijic tourist made off with.
Jolanda's has great food, right on the beach and is a nice break from typical Mexican. I believe she had almost everything on her menu. What did I have ... don't remember but it was good.
Marcos, Elke and Vern hadn't been to La Manz in awhile so we took a stroll around town and to the new Malecon. The foto below doesn't show how the bridge to the beach is broken ... but it was. Fixed yet?
