Culinary Bacalar

9 Mar

The timing of many of the cultural events that happen in Bacalar don’t work for us. I totally understand scheduling performances for the evening. We live in the tropics, and most of the time, IT’S HOT. Waiting for the sun to go down invites breezes. The trouble is, the announcement says, 7pm and nothing gets started until 9. Being the idiots we are, we still show up at 7.

Caribbean Food Festival Starts at 4? Let’s go!

How’s this for grilling pineapple?

Besides the crowd and too much walking for me, it was good to get out, try something new, and be home before dark.

Welcome to Bacalar

    But did it really start at 4:00?
    I’ve gone to so many parties, weddings, receptions, etc. in Mexico, or with my Mexican friends. I’ve not known a single one to start anywhere near on time.

      Because they were cooking onsite, prep time took all day. We arrived at 430 and things were hopping.

    Looks like a lot of fun – colourful and delicious. But like you, we’re not evening people these days 😦
