Carnival: huge outdoor dance party in Ocotal. About 18 volunteers came to celebrate the city's annual party. I managed to fit in some work along with the festivities; we organized the regional business plan competition which will transpire October 24th in Ocotal.
Fantasy football: living in a developing country didn't stop me from participating in my first ever fantasy draft (although my town did lose electricity for 5 minutes and screwed up one pick). I did manage to grab Drew Brees, Matt Forte and the Bears defense/special teams. The only issue is I have almost no way to watch the games, so feel free to send me your recommendations!
Town fair: this week Palacaguina had their annual celebration as well. I remember blogging about it last year so feel free to go back in time to get the juicy details about the donkey race. Two new things of note. First, today there was a marching band parade. Last year, I lived 2.5 blocks further away so I didn't hear it. That also may be due to the fact that it was at 5:30 IN THE MORNING! And the other thing, bad idea or the worst idea
