Promotions

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.
