5 AM and there have already been two long progressions of cohetes de trueno ( thunder rockets)—aptly named fireworks loud enough to raise the dead!!! The LOUD music from town was still going strong at 2 AM. Not much of a chance for a good night’s sleep during the ten day long San Juan Bautista celebration in San Juan Cosala! Maybe I’ll venture down the mountain to see what’s going on today. After so many years, I’m turning into a bit of a hermit so far as the different village festivals. (5:29 AM, as I complete this post—another long progression of explosions. Guess I’m up for good.) (5:36, another long progression of explosions, accompanied by cheerful music. They sound like giant firing squads..don’t know how else to describe it.)
