La Manz and Pedro's fish tacos
Glen and I have been wanting Pedro's fish tacos so he drove us up to La Manzanilla yesterday. Quite a lot of people and activity as we walked around. A few new things and the town was clean. the crocodiles are still there waiting for their chicken dinner.
We finally made it back to Pedro's, sat on the beach and enjoyed a nice breeze. Last time I had one of his tacos was a few years ago and I thought they were bigger. Big enough I could only eat one. Now they bring three in an order and I could only eat two. Got one in the fridge for later today. Best fish tacos I've run into around here but the ones on the waterfront in La Paz are the best.

International Beach Fiesta
International Beach Fiesta in Boca de Iguanas. They advertise this as every Semester and that means twice a year in Mexico. No idea how it makes any money for the community because it's isolated. Not directed at locals and cost money for an entry ticket.

La Manzanilla Rodeo Days
Here's the schedule in Spanish. From what I understand there will be no Gringo day this year. No idea why because the Gringos have been quite proud of it in the past. Vamos a ver. Very fun event and only bull riding .... no bull killing.

Crazy Beach and Pool Party
International Beach Party
This is probably the 3rd or 4th year for this mass gathering at Boca de Iguanas. I stay away from this kind of thing because it can get very drunk out. Glen went up some year just to see the spectacle and maybe to see the girls. He just said lots of 20 somethings.

Tenacatita Bay from the air
David Dagoli from La Manzanilla got a ride in a two-seater plane and flew around the bay, down to the Colima volcano and back through Manzanillo. This photo is of the southern part of the Bay with La Vena beach and Los Angeles Locos below and La Manzanilla at the far end.

Big surf in La Manz

From swells created by Hurricane Sandra that was a Category 4 as it passed. They are getting some people on the beach wet. I wonder how Barra de Navidad is doing.

Road to Boca de Iguanas
Not sure where all that sand came from and no that is not snow.
I get a feeling that is the back road from La Manz ...... not the main paved road

Sunset before the rain
Yesterday the weather was normal with some very nice sunsets but we've been expecting this very large weather system coming in from the Pacific. Estimates are 2-4 inches of rain between today and tomorrow so we will count tomorrow.

La Manz lagoon open
Foto by David Dagoli
An unusual occurrence during the dry season although if they have some of the water table issues that Melaque has then it's not so dry. It's said they opened the lagoon to clean out some mangroves, widening it so the Crocodiles have more room and are more visible. Also to rebuild and repair the tourist walkway.
Lots of unhappy people about the smell and the filthy ocean. Nobody is on the beach or in the water. A few vacations ruined or just day trips from nearby towns. People wearing masks and towels to cover the smell. Scheduled to be open until Friday.

Tierralegre´s Green Technology & Sustainability Fair
Greetings from La Manzanilla!
Tierralegre, A.C. (www.tierralegre.org) is hosting the first Green Technology and Sustainability Fair all day this Friday, December 5 in La Manzanilla. The program of activities can be viewed below, and are also attached in this message.
This inaugural event to showcase ecological education, environmental stewardship and community sustainability will combine with the annual fundraiser to help raise the necessary funds to maintain the YES (Youth Ecology and Sustainability) Initiative and to build a multi-use outdoor classroom at the Youth Ecology Center in La Manzanilla this coming year.
Thus a space will exist at the Center where local and visiting teachers and students can learn, exchange research and ideas, provide service and innovation through collaboration in an inspiring, comfortable and green environment. The completion of this structure will ensure that the Center continues to provide an oasis for local community sustainability well into the future…
If you are unable to attend, but would like to make a donation to this cause, please do so through Tierralegre´s “Friends of the Fund” page on the International Community Foundation´s website at the following link: http://donate.icfdn.org/#npo/tierralegre-a-c (all donations are tax deductible).
