Hotel D'Lido Managua

... toilet in another. The toilet had a tap above it so I could wash myself. The bathroom in the corner was separated from the rest of the cell by a shower curtain. The only thing which brightened up the horrible room was the landscape Muriel on the wall which had guerrillas hidden in the trees and caves. The guerrillas in the picture were shooting, killing and blowing up Americans. I don’t know if the two countries were ever at war but from what I have ...

Devin and I drove into Managua for the Santo Domingo festival through the 10th of August.  We found a great hotel to stay at, in one of the burros right next to the city center, and parked our Wesley for a few days in the locked courtyard.  Managua, being the capital, is the largest city in Nicaragua and thus is one of the most dangerous... and boy could we feel that!  Everywhere we went locals were telling us not to go that way.  Luckily we are pretty smart and aware.  Not ...

... each required about 10 people to carry them and each statue hand a band with it.<br>Everybody was dancing and cheering and waving what appeared to be white handkerchiefs above their head, every so often the band would stop playing and everything would go silent, then when they started again the crowd would just completely erupt.<br>Once the statues made it to the church it was time for the rodeo, which was everything you would expect out of a Central American rodeo (think ...

... trying to soak up the last rays from Central America.<br><br>I then put on my first clean outfit in days haha! It was our last night, and we went to an upscale organic restaurant, so I figured I could put on some clean clothes! :) The restaurant was very expensive (thanks Wake Forest) but had delicioussss food! Also, we had cake to celebrate our professor&#8217;s birthday&#8230; so I had some delicious food for my last ...

I won't lie... today was a bit of a struggle for me. I was woken up this morning (wayyy before my alarm was to go off) by an urge to have to go to the bathroom. I then realized I had finally gotten the dreaded, but almost guaranteed, traveler's diarrhea. This caused for a lovely morning if you can imagine haha. On top of this, all I wanted to do was to go home for some reason? I was just like, I think its time to go home haha... but that was not possible - so I put on a smile and was ...

... the same way. There are so many young people in the world starting projects that greatly influence the world. And the forest is one of those special projects. <br><br>That night was spent in a Monteverde bungalow thinking about what was to come next. Day seven arrives, a quiet morning, the monkeys behind us, and a surprise of orange juice in the Hotel El Sapo Dorado was well welcomed (hibiscus juice isn&#8217;t the most appetizing). Day seven was all about shopping ...

... Polinesia. Maybe a future destiny...? : ) The day after we went to a volcanic lake. Not that amazing but anyhow we enjoyed it so much, to swim and rest in the lake : ). We spoke there with a man from Swizerland, who was working in Nicaragua for a big company from Swizerland, and who didn't like it there because he had been stolen. And who didn't like Brazil because he had heard in the TV it was dangerous....a bit close. But no that bad. He asked us to make an ...

... and good! The ferry was half loaded, we occupied the only remaining seat near the window. People were coming and coming, sitting close to each other...We met this guy Udo from Germany. He was talking to us about what he does (artist), his works, his travelling, his life. We shared our experiences. He was very interesting. By the time we sailed off, we were already tired. Then, we expected the ride to be about an hour (we didnt do any research at all). Turned out, it's ...

We arrived in Granada just as it was getting dark and scrambled amongst about 10 other gringos on our bus to find a hostel. Fortunately we found a good one near the center of town, where beds cost more than we would normally pay ($7 per person) but included a big breakfast and free internet. We got a room with the just the 4 of us, with Joel and Andrea on the bunk beds and Joseph and I on a double. We had cable in our room and the ...
