Dia de San Valentin


Or the day more commonly known as Valentine’s Day does exist in Nicaragua and is quite popular.  It also goes by the Day of Love and Friendship.  How do they celebrate it?  Pretty much same as we do – cards and candies are the usual.  If the town is large enough and man has enough money, he’ll take the wife out so she doesn’t have to cook.  But infinitely more popular than any of these options is sending chain text messages.  Yes, Nicaragua apparently missed the late 90s and didn’t hear that chain mailing things is NOT cool.  I received 4 of them (all different) and 3 of those were from teachers I work with.  Professional?  You decide.
