No the Peace Corps did not promote me yet (what’s taking them so long??). Las promocciones are what the Nicaraguans use for graduation ceremonies. I, being a professor now, was obligated to attend. At 8am all of the students and their loved ones gathered in the church for a mass. After mass, they paraded to the cancha (the roofed basketball court) for the ceremony. Graduating was almost exactly the same: the director of the school gave a speech, followed by a speech from a student. Then a lot of very repetitive music and the handing out of the diplomas.
