On the other side of the grocery store is a very large space that the city uses for fairs and festivals. Well, the latest one is very interesting. It is called a Fantasia or can also be called the "Game of Gunpowder". It is unique to our country and very interesting. Basically it is men wearing traditional clothing and a group with ride across a space at the same pace and coordinate shooting their gunpowder guns at the exact same moment. I don't quite understand the rules, but it is a popular event and so Blake took the camera into the middle of the crowd to get some pictures. He also ran into some friends whose relative is a participant and somehow Blake managed to get to play with a gun.
A side note: This festival lasted for about 5 days...5 days of every 10-15 minutes a loud explosion going off. It sounded like we lived next to a war zone!
