THE MAIN EVENT

After we visited our new friends Carole and Kinnie to see the apartment they purchased this year, we strolled around the neighborhood and had a bite of dinner.
Centro Historico was crowded, but not crushing. The balmy night was perfect for people watching.

By the time there was no longer room to maneuver, we were safely above the madhouse on the rooftop of Casa de Leyendas.
The fireworks were everything we expected, huge, booming, fabulous, and so close we were brushing glittering debris off our shoulders.
