out of control.

There must be something in the water here that has gotten to the Honduran's heads and made them completely crazy. At about 3am this morning, I woke up to a loud speaker blabbing Spanish right outside my door. I sat up in my bed so confused trying to translate the nonsense. I can't make out anything it's saying thru the muffled speakers. Then the loud speaker starts blaring spanish music. And when I say 'blaring', I mean so loud my ears felt like they were bleeding. I have no clue whats going on but it sounded like whoever was playing the music was having a good ol time. So I lay back down and can't go to sleep because I've just been totally freaked out by whatever is going on at 3am. The music continues to fade in and out because the speakers are on a car driving around. So just when I think it's gone, I hear it coming back around the corner to our street. About 10 minutes in I hear huge boom noises going off... first I thought it was gun shots but soon realized it was just fireworks. Oh the norm... fireworks i the middle of the night.. why not? At this point I'm just raging in my bed because I'm so angry I can't fall back asleep. I get super fired up that I start sweating and this makes me even more angry. I finally fall back asleep until 5am when the musical car comes back. I was not a very happy camper this morning. Come to find out, it's Fathers Day today in Gracias and they like to celebrate special occasions in the middle of the night. My roomies said that they have been woken up before for birthdays, funerals, and holidays before in the middle of the night because that is when they start their celebrations. So not cool Honduras.
