Well, people here sure know how to celebrate a birthday! It started Wed. night with lots of fireworks and an amazing parade, of which I took a quick snapshot. Of course everything was on our street, so we had first-hand seats. Then we were awoken at 4 am with lots of fireworks and sirens. The day ended with several concert stages set up on our 10 block central street, with lots of food vendors, local jewelry, and an odd assortment of games and prizes. We think most of Matagalpa walked under our balcony last night! The building in the picture is the mayor´s office, about 2 blocks south of our house.
