jocotepec question

will the fiesta still be on this coming thursday? gracias!

Yesterday was the last official day. The booths and streets will still be full of vendors for about another 7=10 days probably.

how easy will it be fer a few bikers ta park at the plaza fer biria and cervezas on thurs afternoon?

Depende, if the vendors on that street (Miguel Arana and Hidalgo) are gone or not. They are not going to let you through if they are still vending. If you want some good birria, Arturos (I think that's the name) just before the Pemex on the East side of Joco has some good stuff.

If you want to do the plaza, you could take the road to the mercado (Morelos) and it will be open. You will only be one block North of the plaza and parallel to the main street. Couple of parking lots on Morelos also. To get to Morelos go one block past the first light in Joco, Turn Right on Nicolas Bravo, go one long block to Morelos and turn Left. That will take you to the Mercado about 6 blocks up.

Don't leave any tank bags on your bike, lots of sticky fingers during fiesta time.

thanks kiko, but we like to keep the bikes in sight. sounds like mezcala instead unless the malecon is ok fer parking close to where we sit. we all have saddle bags.

By the way the dish for the fiesta is lamb so it is the time when there is a good supply of lamb at the butcher that sells pork accross the street from the beef butcher.

Pedro last time I rode over to Mezcala on my dirt bike, those street kids pelted me with rocks. Don't forget your shin guards, elbow guards, kevlar pants, full face helmet, full shin motocross boots, NFL pro rib protector, and neck brace.

I don't know about the malecon, they've got some carnival rides set up there also. I'll try to swing by there in the evening on recon and let you know.

gracias kiko!

The Malecon in Jocotepec is ready for a moto rumble. Clean and green with plenty of parking at the beer booth.

Thursday in Joco at the malecon for motorcyclists is BSA day. Beezers over the age of 70 drink free if accompanied by their grandparents.

Kiko, there's a day ride on Saturday of non expert riders if you'd like to join us.  PM me if interested.

¿How does the butcher show you the age of the sheep?

I think he can tell by examining the teeth.....so ask for the head.

If there are no teeth, then it's definitely mutton.

A sheep after 10 years is called a "Gummer".....I still remember the smell of mutton from the 1950s.

Ahhh!!!......you do know your sheep.

He probably was raised on that . At school in England they serve you that very thinly cut mutton with tons of mint sauce. The mint sauce is to make mutton edible.

Those Brits are so clever.  In Ireland, it's sans mint sauce, as they used something called "hunger sauce".  

Arbon knows about Donegal mutton,  eh arbon?

Mutton was during rationing along with horse meat (gran dad called it green beef) and a rare treat was a can of "SPAM".

In Donegal it was raisin scone for breakfast, and (as many as you can eat) pratties and butter milk for dinner, with (a small amount of) grass fed beef stew or minch in gravy, or chicken stew, or neck of lamb stew. (and can't forget the cabbage/kale)

We would like to get some neck of lamb, (soul food)...Eh

At least horse meat is good and healthy. Jesús I thouth the food I got in England was bad..Little did I know.
