It´s Independence Day here and it feels like a huge village fete. There are kids running about blowing bubbles and eating sweets, there´s a band and parades, there are stalls selling drinks (mainly cups of ice which you can pour a flavour over, call it Colombian Slush Puppies) and snacks (mango cut into very fine strips using a piece of equipment usually used for cutting metal! And sheets of circular wafer which they put a sweet goo between) and lots and lots of noise! There have been fire works going off since 9am, the church bells go every hour for about an hour and the band plays on and on!
All very interesting.
Our hotel room overlooks the square so we´ll have prime seats for any celebrations this evening!
Tims heaven and my heaven, guess which is which!?
