On Saturday the 19th of March the town of Los Algodoes threw “good-by” party for all the visitors who were leaving for the summer. The town closes off two blocks of streets, sets up a stage, serves food, beer, margaritas, and advertises itself. It is quite a production.

Above is the plates of food served, and you have to just sit where you can find a chair and eat off your lap—no tables. The city provides the plastic chairs and as you can see above, you sit is the street and enjoy!

This table above is where a dentist is advertising his services. Complete with a set of teeth!. The music act above is a father and daughter. They encouraged people to dance in front of the stage and also pitched their next performance locations.

Ladies above were dancing with the Lion and with the Mime. Everyone seemed to be having a really good time. Free beer and margaritas will do that!

100_7912Dixie found the lion near the free Margarita stand out in front of the Purple Pharmacy and Liquor store. Or maybe, the Lion found her.

100_7911Time to go home, the margarita mix is all gone, and the trash box is filled. I had only one margarita, but two shrimp tacos, so no problem driving the 20 miles back to our RV park. It was a great day with perfect weather!
