Friday night was a real treat - we finally got to take in the Jazz Festival!!! We got to see Jim Beard, Spyro Gyra and Sergio Mendes LIVE for FREE on the BEACH in Playa del Carmen!!! It just doesn't get any better than this. When we arrived just before 7, people were setting up their chairs and even making nice comfy chairs out of sand (wish we had brought our chairs...!).
By the time the concert was fully underway, there were thousands of happy jazz fans (most of them local Mexicans, which sort of surprised me) grooving to the sounds of some of the best groups in the world.Saturday night we had to work at the bookstore, but tonight was Al Jerreau, Pat Martino and Herbie Hancock - amazing line up of artists right here in our midst.
Of course, I can never resist a local sculpture when I see one - this one was on our way back to the car after the concert. Sadly, I started to get a cold today, so will pound it with vitamin C and oil of oregano.
