Mysterious Holiday

So today seems to be some sort of local holiday, although none of the locals know what it is... The day has been spent trying to avoid raining bullets from celebrating soldiers, and firecrackers that more resemble bombs, I would not be supprised if they actually were. But it seems to all be in good spirit and I feel completely safe... inside that is. It is also comforting that today is a "Dry Day" (No alcohol consumption allowed) and it is I am told followed by everybody out of religon. So no worries there. My hotel made a mistake and overbooked, so I have been given a Suite for the price of my original room. Still quite abysmal... But I appreciate it for what it has, hot water, relatively clean sheets, and a toilet. I remain healthy despite having to accept many offers of truly filthy tea and food out of respect. Tomorrow the celebrations will be over and I will get around to some sight seeing! I hope to update then!
