If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Last year when I was in Nicaragua, there was a murder in a town I was about to visit called San Juan Del Sur. An American was convicted of the crime, although at his trial no real evidence was […]
I wrote earlier about Eric Volz’s lame trial in Nicaragua, and they’re working on an appeal (which is a good thing, hopefully he’ll get a fair appeal since the trial seemed so unfair). The American newsmedia are picking up on Eric’s plight, and there’s a story about him on Anderson Cooper tonight (CNN).
I urge everyone […]
A few months ago, I posted about a wonderful magazine I found in Nicaragua, called El Puente. Well, it turns out that the Publisher of the eco-friendly magazine has been convicted of her murder and has been sentenced to 30 years in prison. Many people can place Eric Volz at his office in Managua during […]
While we were in San Juan Del Sur, Kevin introduced me to El Puente, a magazine about Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. It comes out 4 times a year and features all articles in both English and Spanish. I just subscribed and recommend that you do, too. $5 an issue is completely worth it, as […]

The trip to Nicaragua was amazing, and I have plenty more to blog about. I’ll try to get my photos squared away tonight and then will also get more blog postings as the week progresses. Returning to real life is insane, but I’ll try to deal.
In the meantime, check out the Nicaragua Flickr Group, […]
We woke up on Sunday; it felt great to sleep in a firm bed after sleeping in my own bed for only 2 hours, on 2 different airplanes separated by a quick nap in the Atlanta airport the day before. My nephew Aidan asked for a train from Nicaragua (he’s a Thomas The Tank Engine […]
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. […]
Not sure if you know this, but Nicaraguan elections recently re-installed Daniel Ortega as their leader (remember the whole Sandanista/Iran Contra Affair fiasco?). Read more about the current state of politics in Nicaragua here.
I’m on vacation in Nicaragua now, and this is a link to keep you busy in the event that I don’t have […]
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 […]
