Everything today is fairly tranquilo (quiet, peaceful; pronounced: tran-key-low). Today is election day and most Nicas have been talking of peace and nonviolence which is good. Boaco is the quietest I've ever (not) heard it and things seem eerily ok. Another PCV put it this way "besides no drunks being in the streets, it feels like a normal day". That is because they do not sell any alcohol 72 hours before and after election day, nation-wide. Smart decision. If only they limited alcohol sales more often, oh wait, isn't that prohibition? Well, it actually might help here since alcoholism is a very big problem. But, since there won't be any alcohol flowing through the streets for the next couple days, hopefully things won't get too crazy. I did already here of some burned ballots up north though. Unfortunate, but it happened.
Let's keep it tranquilo Nicaragua.
Glad you're staying inside and away from most of it...Good day to use the internet,and maybe catch up on some reading...Love ya
