Sunday morning we caught a mini bus to Diriamba for 4 C. each (20 cents) – no festival pricing since the road was now open, and amazingly clean considering the loads of trash deposited yesterday. We looked inside the church and took photos of the three statues, and wandered around looking at the booths. There were wooden toys—doll carriages, etc. which were distinctive. There was more dancing after mass, so we got some more photos of the colorful festivities – including the Güegüense dancers.
