Alcaldia de Pto Morelos....

PM is under the jurisdiction of Cancun, and on Thursday there was to have been a decision made which would have allowed PM to be more independent, collect its own taxes, and elect its own mayor. A huge celebration was planned for Sunday, but Cancun postponed the meeting and therefore the decision, which turned this celebration into a demonstration.










(Mayor of Purto Morelos)
All the candidates for mayor were duly introduced, and many speeches given denouncing the postponement of this important decision. However, they had already planned the fiesta, so it went ahead anyway......Viva Puerto Morelos!!!!!!!! The whole evening after the speeches was traditional dancing and very loud music......









The final entertainment was a very hot Mexican band who played salsa and very loud fast mariatchi music.










The basketball court became a dance floor and all the locals, young and old, were up there strutting their stuff. Even a few tourists were brave enough to try to dance to that music.....it was awesome!!!!!


This is a video of the dancing and music....I never know if these show up as such on the blog....

For anyone who has ever been to a Mexican town, you will know that potholes are inevitable, and some you could lose a small car in. Imagine then that they secured that big tent by driving huge spikes into the ROAD to hold it in place. In about 2 days these will be pot holes, as the road is built on sand and caves in at the slightest provocation.....LOL
