Elections in Sucre

We stayed in Sucre a day longer than we might have because Sunday is election day. What this means is that there are no buses or trains in or out of Sucre and virtually every shop and business shuts down. All this makes the place seem like a ghost town but even more importantly to us all sales of alcohol have been banned, our livers are thanking God but the other organs are now going through withdrawal. What a shocker!

When the evening arrives it becomes clear that the lady, Sabina, has won and the main plaza is full of Sucrians cheering and waving flags. All a large family celebration which makes us wonder why there has been such a large police presence. No riots to report here, just kids playing with balloon swords.
