Listen! What do you hear? It might be birdsong, kids playing on the street, roosters crowing or the ice cream vendor.
What it won’t be (at least for a while) is repeated rockets going off overhead. Village dwellers have managed to survive the din of these insistent and annoying fireworks that begin in November with Revolution Day and the “patronales,” and continue through religious holidays in December, January, February, March and April. The big “finale” was on the Day of the Holy Cross (May 3) when construction crews competed with each other to see how many rockets they could set off in a 24-hour period.
You now have several weeks to catch up on your sleep and build that heavy artillery you’ve been thinking about to get even when the next barrage comes your way.
