The parade route was lined with many people. Back in the square, food vendors were busy preparing tostados, tacos, tamales and other yummy snacks. We had to go work on the food distribution so we left before the parade was over.
Later on, we returned to the square for a dance contest. We arrived early so we wandered around the square. After the loteria was over, the dance contest was on. It was a local version of a TV show similar to Dancing With The Stars. A singer named Felix Chaivez performed as well.

The Dia de Santa Cecilia is the day devoted to the patron saint of musicians. Harold and I went to the square in Puerto Vallarta for the special mariachi mass that was held outdoors. We met Patricia, Joann and their friends Cecilia and Gabi. In the plaza there was a norteno band entertaining the crowd. After the mass, we walked along the Malecon listening to about four different mariachi bands. People often honor their friends on their “saint day.” We all took Cecilia to Mezza Luna for dinner after the music. Harold and I had never been there before. It is a very nice Italian restaurant a few blocks up from the Malecon.
Joann and Patricia had a Thanksgiving get together at Casa Tranquila. They cooked the turkey, dressing and potatoes. We brought a corn casserole and rolls. Others brought pumpkin pie, sweet potatoes and appetizers.
