Dia del Triumfo de la Revolución
July 19 was the day of the Triumph of the Revolution...that would be the Sandinista Revoluation in 1979. It was a national holiday and I had a lovely day off.
In the morning I went to a concert that was here in Masaya, there were a lot of national celebrities singing and folkloric dancing. I went with Edwin and Diana (she lives at the house with me)...we had a blast. There were lots of people there so we all held hands and wove through the crowd to get a good view. It was hot and sunny and lots of people but really, quite fun.
In the afternoon I was exhausted so I went to the farm with Carlos and we slept on hammocks all afternoon. It was LOVELY. I think my favorite part was when Carlos told me that the chickens were fighting with the rats. I didn`t believe him until I saw it...really, chickens pecking at the rats.
The first group of participants left on Sunday, so there were goodbye parties for them last week. It was fun, we went to one of the miradores (overlooks) for one of the parties. At the mirador you can see the Laguna de Apoyo and Lake Nicaragua...there was a storm coming in and it was amazing to see the clouds roll in over the lakes. Unfortunately my camera ran out of batteries so there are no pictures. But you can imagine.
It looks like it is going to rain here...so I gotta get home before I get soaked!
