This past week has been Fiesta week in Camarma. There are a lot of events that take place during the week - carnival rides for the kids, a medieval fair, bull runnings, dancing in the square and parades. (They've cancelled some of the other events because of the economic crisis, including the fireworks that normally end the fiesta.)I wish I could say I enjoy this week, but it's actually one of my least favorite weeks of the year. Our normally quiet little town takes on a whole different persona - drunkenness, loud parties that last all night long, petty vandalism and trash everywhere. I guess it's just another reminder that these people need Jesus and I need to be praying for them and being salt and light where I can.
