I live in Barrio Cordoba, behind the Mall. I enjoy living there, as I have a great view of the beach and the port. It's a little different than it is along the waterfront, where many of those in Manta's expat community live. Cordoba is an old, established neighborhood that can take on a life of its own at times.
Recently, I have been hearing loud explosions going on all day. They weren't exclusive to my neighborhood, but there is definitely someone, or several different people, that love to blow things up. Just prior to midnight, there was a non-stop chorus of big bangs being generated by these small bombs, some so close to my building they felt like they were inside my apartment. But, after hearing a few very early this morning, they seemed to have finished (at least for now!).
