Semana Santa is the Nicaraguan equivalent of Spring Break in the Unikted States, albeit without the wet T-shirt contests. San Juan del Sur is traditionally the spot where tens of thousands of people celebrate the Holy Week with lots of religious parades, fried chicken, and displays of public drunkenness. It isn't as crazy as people made it out to be, but then I spent my teenage years in Daytona Beach, tourist mecca. These photos are from April 2006.
