Last night I woke up around 4:30 and I thought it was strangely quiet. The parrots and other tropical birds started chirping around 6 and Ivan's friend arrived at the apt around 8:30. We watched some news coverage and all seemed peaceful. They left here around 9:30, dressed in white shirts, and planning on meeting up with colleagues from work. They arrived back here around 12:30, they were excited but exhausted. Ivan said it was an amazing feeling to reach Carretera Masaya and see a river of white.
Now, we are being forced to watch the Sandinistas "celebrating" one year since the victories of the municipal elections, which they just so happened to schedule for the same day. At first none of the channels were covering the "celebration", just channel 4 (the one owned by the sandinistas). But now all channels must be mandated to show it, because they are all showing the same feed and without commentary or anything.
Here are some videos I took of news coverage:

Here is a video of what I could hear from the apt:
