Carnival Cancun

It was Carnival week in Cancun so Jay and I went a couple times to check it out! On the first day we wanted to see the parade. After some careful deduction I figured out which route the parade was taking. Or at least I was about 80% sure. Getting directions of any kind in Mexico is like throwing a dart. As it turned out I was right and we got a front row seat for the parade!

No parade would be complete without the Cancun taxi drivers Cat in the Hat drum band.

A few days later we went to check out the main grounds. This took us to a place we had never been before: Malecón Tajamar. The Carnival was a lot like The Ex in Toronto; there were rides, lots of food and some great performances. Every night there were dance competitions and at least one main musical act. Jay and I got some churros, watched some dancing, and listened to other people screaming as they were thrown about.

Don’t forget to visit “Bob World”

It was so beautiful at the pier, even at night, that we decided to return during the day. You can read about it in my next post.
