Fireworks in Chapala

I'm going to try and catch up on my posts before we leave for Puerta Vallarta on Wednesday. Sorry to bombard you.

The second week in December, the city of Chapala decided they were going to start a new yearly event celebrating fireworks. Sounds like something weird to celebrate, but we were very excited because they were supposed to have fireworks every night for 4 nights at the church in Chapala and out on a barge in the middle of the lake. We looked up the schedule and every night the fireworks were supposed to start at 8pm. The first night, we had to study for exams so I sent Dave out to check out how crowded it was and what might be a good vantage point for attending on other nights. He have back about 9pm and said the fireworks hadn't start yet. Shortly after we could hear them start. So the next night we went out to dinner in Chapala and met some friends in front of the church. There was an English language choir and the fireworks started at about 8:30pm.

Reminded us a little of the fireworks over the Disney castle.

Not too bad. It was fun, but we heard the next night was supposed to be more impressive with the fireworks on the lake. So we headed out again, sat by the lake on the boardwalk and waited. And waited. Finally one or two went off. Then we waited some more. A few more. Finally at almost 10pm, we gave up and took tired kids home.

The next night we absolutely forgot about them until we heard them at about 10pm. They sounded great. Oh well.
