Perhaps it is in retaliation to the student protests, maybe they felt left out of the limelight, but whatever the motive a slew of military people went blasting down the street this morning, starting at 8:30 (today is Sunday…). Nothing was left out: horns, loud drum lines, people stomping around, peanuts, stray dogs barking at the parade.

I thought after the first 15 minute round I would be able to get some rest again. Not so. These wonderful marchers had about 4 more rounds in them, at least. I think we are at N˚4 right now.  I can only guess that they are celebrating the national holiday this upcoming Wednesday. I forget at the moment which one it is. I’m still rather groggy!
