Hotel Plaza Real Rosario

... usually a result of the haphazard organization of the event.<br><br>For example, after the first couple of bulls had run past us, I, inveterate thrill-seeker that I apparently am, made the somewhat foolhardy decision to wander back to where we had begun. While making my way cautiously back I was passed on the opposite side of the road by another bull who stopped at the next crossing to spin around in circles and consider his options. Meanwhile, at my planned ...

Yesterday I moved in with my homestay family, and thankfully it´s only<br>two blocks away from the hotel that I´ve been staying in for 4 days.<br>I´m very glad that we did a lot of orientation stuff in Masaya, because<br>I was able to find out so much more about the city. Today I´m going to<br>Ciudad Sandino, which is a lot more dangerous than Masaya (people don´t<br>typically leave their houses past 9pm), but during the day and in ...

... huge and filled with trees and lots artisans selling handmade jewellery. We spent three nights in Granada and have spent our days wandering the streets around town. We checked out a museum which was a bit of a disappointment. There wasn't really anything in it except for some displays that looked like pretty modern villages outside ...

... rodeando la Laguna de Apoyo, y la vista desde aquí es muy buena. Puede ver toda la laguna, así como el Lago de Nicaragua que se encuentra detrás de ella. El Volcán Mombacho que rodea el lago también está presente en esta vista.<br>El mirador es popular entre los nicaragüenses durante los fines de semana, cuando amigos y familiares se reúnen para disfrutar la vista o comer en uno de los restaurantes.<br>Hay también algunas tiendas en donde puede comprar algunas artesanías. <br>

Så er det vist på tide jeg får fortalt lidt om turen til Nicaragua. Vi tog af sted den 12. December, og køreturen tog ca. 8 timer. Turen gik fint opad gennem landet, og også fint mht. at komme over grænsen til Nicaragua. Jeg har hørt at det nogen gange går meget langsomt med at komme igennem grænsekontrollen men vi klarede det på en time. Vi skulle bo i byen Malaga på et rigtig dejligt hotel. Jeg kom på værelse med Doro, Mari og Catherine og vi gjorde os klar til ...

... the dumpster, then drove backward so that he hit the car behind him once more, decided he still didn´t have enough room, then got out of his car again. He walked to the 3rd car back, pushed it back till it hit the 4th car back (all the cars here are stick-shifts, obviously, and so all left in neutral when parked). Once the 3rd car was as far back as it could go, he pushed the 2nd car (the one behind him) back so that it hit the 3rd ...

... connected. But my internet explorer and iTunes store don´t work. Grrrr. And Julia loaned me her connector for my memory card for my camera. Now I´ll be able to upload some more photos. Thank you, Julia. I´ve got my little routine going on here in the big bad city of Rosario, and I´m enjoying it. I have class practically all day on Monday and Tuesday, then only for a few hours on Wednesday and Thursday ...

... it´s called ¨Por Amor a Vos¨ or ¨Because I Love You¨) which I´m addicted to. Francisco comes home from work and we eat. We eat the rucula salad with oil and salt and then we have this fabulous French bread we eat... mmmmm. Then we eat something fabulous for our main course. Let´s see... a couple days ago, my mom made a quiche, and then pizza, and then spaghetti, and then last night she made milanesa with chicken instead of beef ...

... filled with beef, and then folded over, crimped, and either fried or baked). We thought that was a fabulous meal, and ate all of it. Then they brought out about a foot-long sausage (chorrizo) that was very filling... That had to be the meal, right? And then they brought out the actual meal after our 2 meat appetizers-- a rack of ribs... someone said it was spine. It was very fatty... but kind of good, nonetheless. But a lot of meat. And ...

... than 1 person traveling together. Dorms are filled with bunk beds (usually), and sometimes restricted to same gender, but usually not. Yes, you will sleep in a room filled with people you don't know, and maybe never even see. They can not be there when you go to bed, and be there when you wake up. Or, vice versa, be there when you go to bed, and gone when you wake up. Generally, the hostel has internet, a collective kitchen, TV ...
