Rock and Roll -- Disco Bus To Bless Your Soul

You have got to love some of the strange sights, at least based on what we are used to around here, that you see in Mexico. They worry less about litigation I think. In Huatulca, which is an ocean front community, they have one of the more unusual tourist attractions that I have ever witnessed.

If you go into La Crucecita, the city center, at night you will find the famous Disco Bus. This bus is colorful, decked-out with bright paint, and it is a double-decker with the roof cut out up above at the top deck. It takes a "party on wheels" from one night spot to another.

Now, to be honest, I never got on the bus, nor did my wife. But we got a kick out of it when it went by. It was a common topic of conversation among us tourists. We tourists wondered just how safe it is for the dancers if the bus makes any quick stops.

 

The bus has loud music, flashing lights and a crowd of people dancing and rocking-out as the vehicle toodles down the road from one spot to another. It stops at some of the scenic outlook points and it, also, even takes revelers to some other bars and nightspots, such as the renowned and beloved "Tipsy Blowfish" bar.

It just so happens that a reveler, very enamored with the disco bus, shot a video of the action inside the bus as the party was going on. You might not want to watch the whole video, but you will get a kick out of watching part of it. So strange.  

Thanks for stopping by,

That's a strange bus.  I'd hate to be the driver with all that disco music.  Wonder if there's a demand for a bus like that in Searcy AR.  LOL

Now that is odd!  I wonder who came up with the idea... wow, I think people can't wait to get on a disco bus (!) :)

Hello Steven - Part of the local flavor!  Like Barbara said, I'd hate to be the driver too!

Basically this is the kind of music that my friend Charles Buell gets into. I ought to give him a ride on this for his birthday.

Home. Liz, in my book I like Mexico better. The wife is into Italy but is kind of coming around. The weather in Mexico is so much nicer in winter. To get nice weather in Italy you have to go during the high tourist season. Also, in general, I find the Mexicans more friendly. The disco bus is not really typical of Mexico. The Huatulco area is wonderful.
