2005 Pachanga
30 April 2005
Sol y Sombra Members have always enjoyed attending the traditional pachanga which is a kickoff party to celebrate the opening of the bullfighting season in Tijuana. Attendance is by invitation only. The Police Band played while we ate lunch and greeted our friends in attendance. When the mariachis arrived, we went into the plaza to view the caping of four cows from the Limon Ganaderia. Here are some pictures:
