Costa del Sol Condo - Villa Debra Weekly Cruise Ship Schedule A Personal Note from Sherri "On the Road Again!" Well I must say that Carnaval 2010 was an absolute blast for all of us who live here despite the very low tourism turnout this year. The parade nights were fresh and breezy...one night was just downright chilly...so that helped all of us aboard the parade floats bear the heat of the bright lights a bit better. And of course the big excitement came on the final parade night as fireworks from one of the floats sparked a fire of Senior Frog´s palapa rooftops. The good news of course is that no one was injured and the parade continued after a short 40 minute interruption. The float I was on had to stop just in front of Frogs so we were right in the middle of it. If I were a citizen of this fine country and therefore working beneath the protection of some speech liberties, I would make a comment about how irresponsible it was for City officials and the department of Public Safety to allow fireworks to be shot off during the parade in the middle of thousands of people. And I might also question how it is that every float had to pay for a permit and meet certain safety standards....yet no one had the nerve to apply those same standards to the very parade floats that the City paid for with taxpayer money. It was after all, a City sponsored float carrying the PRI candiates for the upcoming elections who shot off the fireworks there in front of Frogs in order to make a big splash as they passed in front of the television cameras. But hey, since I`m just a guest in this country I suppose I´ll just be silent and sit here like a toad frog in the rain...batting my eyes as I read the official statement released by the department of Public Safety which says the cause of the fire is still unknown and under investigation. So needless to say the burning of Juan Carnaval on Wednesday night to close Carnaval 2010 was sort of anti-climatic! :-) Shortly thereafter, I took off for some travel time in the interior of Mexico which is what I am doing now. Lots of fun and many more stories/ adventures gathered to share with you. Soon. Check Out Sherri's Previous Writings!
