Forgot what we said about Friday and Saturday night being the hopping nights of the week – this basic rule was thrown out the window yesterday when Granada won the finals of the Nicaraguan national baseball championship vs. Esteli. Winning the baseball tournament is, if I take the word of our 9 yr. old neighbors, a big deal! After all, school was closed today as a celebration of the big win. Central parque for two nights in a row has been jam packed with people congregating, dancing, throwing each other (literally) into the air, live music on a stage in front of the yellow church. Also, the soccer games in the street have now converted to baseball.. everyone is playing baseball!
Baseball rules in Granada tonight…
- Belly Dancers and Snake Charmers
- What I love about living in Granada, Nicaragua…
Does Ben remember going to his FIRST baseball game?
Sure do… Poor Boyd attempts to watch the game, while I pester him for 2 hours with questions about the game which, frankly, after 20 years, I still can’t get excited about…
