Saturday was a busy day in the surrounding villages: we saw a coming of age - 15 - for a beautiful young woman in San Pedro Tesistan (click on the map, Roca Azul, San Pedro and San Cristobal are highlighted.) This Quinceañera was extensive (expensive), with 1/2 dozen cute flower girls, nice 'grooms' as her friends, music etc... Must have been a rich local farm owner, but it was kind of strange as the village itself did not strike as rich, though most of the roads here are rebuilt (repaved with cobblestones). It was a nice stroll and we enjoyed 'sharing' this nice and unexpected fiesta with Sonya and Dave who had joined us for the trip.
We continued our 'tour' towards San Cristobal, and surprise, surprise, we had a wedding here! The bride and the groom accepted to pose for our cameras.
The day was getting old and we returned back to Roca Azul. Dave suggested we stop at a BBQ place that only opens on week-ends, to pick up some foods for supper.
Let me show you the pit and the chef pulling pork as captured by Louise:
We choose pulled pork... was like heaven, especially after the 'happy hour' we had below the lighthouse. All our friends were there, and the sunset light was beautiful. We live in a bird sanctuary and, at one point in time there were hundreds of ibises flying close to the water toward the setting sun.
An evening to remember.
