La Barra, Rio Grande, on the fringe with no running water or electricity, I helped to build a clinic and church. The people were wonderful I miss the lobster, fresh every day, and I miss the warmness of the people of La Barra
Was only here a short time. We stayed in a small fishing village near the Costa Rican Border. I remember border guards with Machine guns who wanted to rummage through our bags for 'treasures'. The people were so giving...gentle. I remember their shy smiles.
I would take people to the island of Ometepe. this is a volcanic island in the middle of the largest lake in the country. its composed of two large volcanoes (volcan maderas & Volcan Concepcion) and its the largest island in the worls inside a fresh water lake. 80% of the island is still virgin territory, and because of its volcanic origin the soil is very fertile, and it produces uncomonly large tropical fruits, and you can just pick them off the trees. there are all sorts of eco-tourism activities available and all you need is yourself, and let nature provide for everything else. Highly recomended for couples, and people who live in big cities. There is a hotel wich provides optimal service, meals and lodging, but the bigest attraction is that its only a 45 minute boat ride away from the mainland. if wish more information on this beautifull paradise E-mail me ragarcia@ibw.comnitake a...
It is a beautiful country. Not even the family home I visited in Managua is still standing, because of the earthquake, but the lake and the volcanos will still be there. I would love to hear about experiences of recent visitors. I went there with small children and lived with my husband's family for six months. I know more about the country from what I've read and heard than from anything I actually saw at the time..
I remember going to the Iglesia de Santa María de los Angeles in Managua to attend the Misa Campesina Nicaragüense. The walls were painted with scenes depicting the Nicaraguan Revolution. It is well worth seeing. Take along your own toilet paper and hand cleaner. I most certainly miss the people of Nicaragua, especially those of Santa María del Peñón. I remember hiking up to a comarca (12 km) to commune with some very hospitable folk who were content to play music on guitars with strings that were made of various materials, and share the food that they did not have an abundance of.
It's so hard to narrow it down! You must go to the Masaya market, they have everything from food, to clothing and brightly coloured blankets, to stuffed frogs (honestly!) to hair salons, it's like a mall, but made out of little stalls of wood, metal, sometimes card board...You also must go to San Juan del Sur, the beach is muy bonita and the little restaurants along the beach, on stilts for when the tide comes in let you eat fish or lobster while looking at the very fishing boats that likely just caught your food! (VERY affordable) I can't choose one thing!!The people were so friendly and welcoming, they always wanted to give what they had, which was very little. The land was gorgeous, beautiful volcanoes and lakes, unfortunately much of the land was washed away in the hurricane. I also miss the air, there is warmth and humidity in the air here, along with that great Central American...
The cheese mostly eaten in Nicaragua is hard, and salty. Very, very similar to the Macedonian “Bieno sirenje”, although not as salty. It can be fried and it is great to accompany the avocado.

I found that house close to Ruben Dario´s museum. the museum is free of charge, with some history of this famous poet.
This building was one of the few that survive the 1972 earthquake that destroy Managua.Now is a modern hotel and I heard Dictator Somoza used as his warehouse after the earthquake.
