Evening shadows were providing welcome shade and a soft offshore breeze was starting up when the Capt and I arrived at the beach with Sofia and Chica to hear some blues, meet some friends and sip a limonada or two. The free event was sponsored by a group of businesspeople who are promoting the state of Sonora in general and San Carlos in particular as safe for vacationers, despite the media reports and general hysterial over shootings, crime...the flu...corrupt cops...and a number of other hazards I've lost track of.Angel Diamond and her band provided the music, some of my favorite songs and a new one I got a kick out of, the "Bureaucrat Blues." At least three boats cruised in as close as they could get to shore in order to hear the tunes.
The Pacifico Girls to the left of the stage were attempting to move to the beat, but the ones on the right seemed to be waiting for Latin tempos
It was left to gray-haired gringos to show them how it's done. But most of us were winded after one song.Bands are scheduled once a month for the next four months, playing Friday and Saturday evenings. Maybe the Capt will go with me again, if I'm lucky.

What fun! Where is this pretty beach in San Carlos? We must be missing all the action when we are there. We always stay at the Tetakawi and I think we are missing alot of stuff somewhere....are we?????
LL - From Tetakawi heading toward San Carlos Marina, drive almost to the end of Beltranes where the Greek Palapa is. On the water side, look for the sign for La Palapa Griega Restaurant, turn left into the entrance (it's wide, has a landscaped median strip) and follow it down to the parking lot, bearing right. There's a big condo development to the left, an abandoned motel to the right, and La Palapa Griega is straight ahead on the beach. The restaurant has live music almost every night, even in summer. Next time you're in town, let me know and the Capt and I will meet you down there. Also have you been to Bananas and Froggy's?
