This annual event should really focus on advising local habitants about the conservation effort its community
leaders, including dozens of government organizations who earn a salary for involving themselves in Los
Tuxtlas.
Instead, this year it was a forlorn event. A very nice photo exhibit in the bowels of the municipio, closed
during the usual long lunch hours and Saturday. Various events were rescheduled, inconveniencing anyone
wanting to attend.
To me the most magnificent event was the gastronomic "tour de force" of the cooking abilities of the outlying
communities. Especially the ability by the sponsoring Government organizations to talk these uphill
impoverished communities into providing giant shrimp with all the trimmings at 5 pesos per plate.
I am no fool! I ate most anything I could get my mouth around. And that includes some stuff I never thought
would cross my lips.
And, WOW !!, most of the food was delicious, except for that tamale, leaf wrapped and full of little fish.
