April - Semana Santa

This is a weeks long vacation basically for the entire country...
Well not really. Since it is a very catholic country their are various saints that are celebrated. It is supposed to be a holy week but there is a lot of commercialism and everyone goes to the beach and makes a big party. It can be very dangerous because there is a lot of drinking and driving. I decided to avoid the crowds and stay in Managua. Really I had mis- understood an appointment and had no plans because I wrote the wrong date down. At the very end of the week I went to San Marcos with friends to get to know this little town.
