Sometimes things go wrong despite the best of planning, whilst on other occasions thinks turn out perfectly with absolutely no planning at all. The latter happened twice this weekend when I rocked up in two towns in Nicaragua to discover their local Ferias were being celebrated whilst I was there.
LEÓN - Saturday 14th August
Summary: Fireworks, sweets being handed out to children at churches, young men running around the main square under bull-like wooden contraptions that shot fireworks out at the screaming crowd, dancing dolls with Nike trainers
GRANADA - Sunday 15th
August
Summary: A procession of three thousand cowboys on horses, a woman balancing a bottle of beer on her head, a drunk man dancing with the horses, me getting caught yet again in the pissing tropical rain.
