Lighting The Christmas Tree
Last night we went downtown for the lighting of the Christmas Tree in centro on the malecon turistico. We went down a little early so that we could get seats and wandered around for awhile. This annual event was put on by both the city and DIF and they had a dance group called Roglop from Obregon. The mayor came on and made his speech and then the dance group performed. After the group finished performing, Santa Claus made his appearance on stage with a bunch of the little kids from DIF. This over our friends and us, along with the rest of the people made our way to the Fuente Danzante and watched the fountain show to the sounds of christmas songs. A nice evening.

Sounds like you and your friends had a great time. It looks beautiful there. I see the people waiting to board the pirate's ship. Very nice and thx for sharing.
I'm getting a little envious of all the cool things that happen in Guaymas. Think I'm going to have to spend more time around there. Funny tree, but I'm glad they didn't chop one down for the event.
Glorv1: yes, we had a good time and yes, it is beautiful here. Thanks for stopping by.
1st Mate: They use the same tree and nativity scene every year. Before it was always set up in the Plaza de Tres Presidents; but they seem to be moving more and more things to the malecon turistico now. There is definately more room for people to gather there and it is a nice venue.
