14 July 2012
This popular Costa Rican celebration features a colorful display of decorated fishing boats in the Nicoya Gulf to celebrate the Virgin of Mount Carmel. Thousands of locals flock to the harbor to view the boat decorations and witness the blessing of the boats by a local priest. Special masses, parades, and concerts are also held during this time. Visitors can also expect to see a grand fireworks display in the evening. Local food will be offered, like casado (rice, beans, stewed beef, fried plantain, salad and cabbage), olla de carne (soup of beef, plantain, yucca, nampi and chayote)) and picadillo (meat and vegetable stew). This event takes place the Saturday closest to July 16th.

Mercedes to Gualeguaychu
I believe there is a direct connection with Rapido San José, but I haven't really looked into that when I was around last august. In any case, it should be possible to get in G with a smooth transfer in Uruguaiana, and there are definitely busses going in that direction. Don't know about the carnival. Niels ...

John Lee, Trish Anderson, Dennis Kim and I settled in at the end of the bar to enjoy the game ...
