San Patrico 8 day celebration ending on Saint Patricks Day, had a little glitch this year as 2 days of down pouring rain flooding the streets with the rising water levels of the lagoon caused it to burst sending the crocodiles out to sea. March 17th the final day held beautiful skies of hot drying sun. San Patricio is named after the battalion of mainly Irish who fought against the Americans in the Mex-American war 1846-1848. The town of Melaque ( San Patricio) is the root of the celebration of kindness for the Irish and the honor of their Families. Parades, fire works and the unity of Families fill the streets in celebration. We are leaving early this morning heading North hopefully to Puerta Vallarta but the storm has washed out the bridges so we are not sure where we will end up.
