Mine blasting question

[colleen]

Well, the people near the end of Pastita have been honoring that virgin since 4:35 this morning. I just gave up and got up. Nothing about these customs is charming, or religious. I find it amazing that NOBODY complains, they just ignore it. But then, I know that nobody is going to do anything. This is a colonial, historical city and of course this is a legendary religious practice. I guess that children here learn how to sleep thru this sort of thing or the all-nighter party. I have been to parties where small children are sleeping in their parents' arms and there is very loud music. Lucky for my husband that he is nearly deaf and he's been sleeping just fine. I stocked up on groceries yesterday and have no intention of leaving home. Who knows what they'll be doing tomorrow?
