Every year Ensenada has their own Mardi Gras called Carnaval. It is crazy fun!! So many people come from all of Baja California and Southern California to celebrate.
They close down and block off all of downtown from Thursday-Tuesday and the streets get packed with people! There are stages at every corner with different bands playing, DJ's, and dancers. There are a lot of vendors selling T-Shirts, beads, candy, food, and of course Cerveza! They also have an area with a bunch of Carnival rides.
Last year Richelle & I went three of this nights and had a fabulous time. This year we only went one night and of course I forgot my camera! :( But, for your enjoyment, I have a couple pictures from last year.
This picture was taken from the balconey of Papa's N Beer (our local hang out). And this was just one corner of about 20 blocks that was full of people.
Here is Richelle with our two good friends Mohamed (left) and Edgar (right). Mohamed works at Papa's N Beer and the both of them make sure we are always looked after when we go out so we are always safe.
