 'Peace Park' was created at the end of the Nicaraguan civil war. When they ended the civil war, the soliders encased all of their guns in concrete, and also encased a tank in concrete.

Now, Peace Park has fallen into ruins. It is not maintained, and is only frequented by prostitutes and street children.

Fun moment between the boys. And a sad commentary on the world today.
