A Night at Carnaval Carnival in Barra

Carnaval is celebrated in several towns in Mexico, with Mazatlan really celebrating!
Parades, music, more parades, beads and more parades.
Not that we have ever been in Mazatlan during Carnaval.
We did a couple nights of celebrating in Barra de Navidad.
First, we met up with Deb and Joe of "Pacific Jade" by accident luck.
Then towards center of town to listen to a little bit of music and see the youngens all dressed up in their princess clothing.


Then on over to the fun area...
This was more like a kiddie carnival.
Carnaval?
No, it was a carnival.

Lots of games.




Mechanical bull ~ kiddie size.




Rides ~ kiddie size.





Oh, but wait!
An adult mechanical bull ride!
Sounded good to Joe and was entertaining to us.
And very entertaining to all the Mexican teenage boys watching!




Scary things...








Toys and games and stuff.





Joe treated two little local boys to airgun shooting!




The boys found some beer.This boy found a place to sleep.
