Mary wanted us to give her bike to some kids that needed one, these are the kids, one of the little girls don't have a bike and she is thrilled to get one of her own. The others have bikes and now they can ride together. They are brother and sisters, the girls are twins.

They are a little small for the bike but they can ride it.

This little guy had to prove to everyone that he can ride the big bike too.

This was on our ride to go shopping in Manzanillo. This is advertising Mexican style.

Michael and I in front of a restaurant in Manzanillo. We met Michael and Dona for lunch after shopping for tires for the Motorhome. We will be replacing the tires before we leave Mexico.

We watched six ships enter and exit the port of Manzanillo while we were eating lunch. We had a really nice lunch of Pizza at a really good Italian restaurant. We needed a Pizza fix.

These are dancers in front of the Church in San Patricio Melaque on St. Patrick's day. We spent the evening on the square watching activities, fireworks, dancing, more fireworks, some Tequila, more fireworks Etc. Etc.

Yes, they did lite this baby up, sparks everywhere, and the crowd is very close. What the heck, what harm can a fee sparks and explosions do. It truly was a crazy St. Patrick's day.

Of course it wouldn't be complete without these guys putting on a fire show swinging these kerosene rags on the end of a chain. Really it was great to look at but perhaps a little dangerous.

Dancing horses, this beautiful horse was so well trained that he could keep time with the music that was being played by a really loud banda.

More kerosene rags.

At 11 PM they lit up the fireworks tree, it was so bright that it was difficult to take pictures.

Of course they had normal fireworks like those in the U.S. but what was different about these is that they are set off very close to the crowd and go off directly overhead. A spectacular sight and very loud boom that shook the ground.

More fireworks.

This is a candy vendor, YES we did buy some.

Dancing in the square to the music of the Banda.
