Somebody...

Surprise! Its the national dish of Nicaragua.  I just arrived in Granada 3 hours ago.  I love it here.

I would have to say its been about 8 years since I´ve been on a school bus... Until today.  What a trip!  It fit the Latin America stereotype to a t, colorful bus crammed with people.  The ride had everything except chickens running down the aisle. By everything I mean, the ride from Rivas to Granada yielded a blown tire.

What more could I ask for?

US backed Contras really did a number on this place... Despair is in the air but so is hope and people are genuinely happy.  Its a noticeable departure from the ¨¨luxourious¨ beach towns of Costa Rica.  I have una semana here before I have to trek back to San Jose.  My goal is to write fifty pages... Its taking awhile to adjust to the pen and paper.  Tech spoils our generation.

I´m going to San Juan del Sur for my last day of surf...

Pura Vida is the anthem of Central America.
