Boom! Boom! Ba-Boom! During my first week in Caracas I would wake up to almost every outside noise... especially explosions. Now I sleep through it all. However, the other night around mid-night (not an uncommon hour for this) there was a continual series of loud blasts and flashing lights which lasted almost 10 minutes. Leaning out my window, I saw one of the best fireworks shows of my life and was able to snap a few photos. I am not sure what this presentation was for but usually it has to do with a wedding.
