Our first dinner at Selva Negra was an experience. We sat down amidst a sea of gringos. Turns out that half of the Nicaragua contingent (25 out of 50) of the Peace Corps was also at Selva Negra for a little R & R between their language & culture training and the 2 year commitment. […]

OK. I’m sitting on a bus right now from Matagalpa to Managua. From the mountains to the big city. Its tough to explain how crowded it is on this “Expresso” bus, but every seat is taken, even the seats where the wheels only give you 10″ of leg room. People are also sitting down the […]
