42ª REINA NACIONAL DEL MAR

Better late than never! Perhaps it was the snow yesterday morning (this winter seems to be endless!), but as Dean Harris was having his breakfast of Ezekiel bread with a generous dollop of tahinomelo, he was longing to be somewhere warm, on a beach, and he remembered! The Fiesta Nacional del Mar in Mar del Plata, Argentina! The Reina Nacional del Mar! So, he asked Lorraine, BS Librarian, to Google the results of this year's contest. Held late last month, the 42nd edition of the Fiesta saw the election of Micaela Ludvik as the Reina Nacional del Mar 2014. Her runners-up were Paz Bazterrica and Luciana Torresel. 12 finalists competed for the coveted title.
