so the big thing with new years on the island is the fireworks...they are everywhere and can be massive...the tradition is on the 27 or 28 of december we all go into the barrios and go firework shopping...the money spent reaches the thousands...there always seems to be something that makes us laugh during the after fireworks drink at a local bar...
this is shelly negotiating the purchase of the little roosters...which we thought were so cute....
the warning is what we found funny about this especially the reporting part...
we also bought a million pagara...it is a firecracker that is rope-like and has a million little firecrackers along it...you light one end and the rest go like dominoes...
it comes in a huge wooden crate on a pallet...this is what it looks like before being put on road...
this is what it looks like before and then during...it is pretty amazing and so loud...
this is the mess that is left afterwards...we all get brooms and sweep it all up...you can hardly tell that anything has happened the next morning...
