Wasn’t that a Lobsterfest!!!!
We had three days of non-stop lobster, music,
parades, marching bands, more lobster, duck races, games of chance, more music,
and even more lobster. Did I say there
was lobster?
This past weekend was Placencia’s 15th
Annual Lobsterfest, and I think it was the best one yet. I know for sure that the weather was the best
it has been since I started coming to it in 2009.
It all started on Friday morning with a ‘Walk for
Cancer’. I didn’t get up early enough
for the start, but I did see the finish.
Three Cheers for the walkers.
We had a parade with a real marching band. They came all the way from Corazol just for
us. Then things just got busy. We had lots of different bands playing
constantly, they come from all over the country… as well as some local talent
and some jams.
There was a duck race, which was a little
different. I had only seen them put into
a river before. The water was flat calm
and it took a while for them to get started.
Once they did, there were five winners.
There was a lobster cook off, now how cool is
that? We had Thai lobster soup for
lunch, grilled lobster for dinner Friday night, Saturday we had
lobster/snapper/shrimp bouillabaisse for dinner, and on Sunday night we had
lobster skewers. That is probably enough
lobster for this week.
There was a Placencia Lobsterfest Trivia Challenge,
a steel band, the Seine Bight drummers and dancers, a Lionfish Cookoff, a great
fire dancer, the T-shirts were the best yet, and so many other things were
happening, it just couldn’t all be taken in.
One would just have to come back another year.
