Adios Nicaragua

On Tuesday I departed Nicaragua after 4 & a half great weeks. So, what will I miss about Nicaragua:

1. Some of the food (although will definitely not miss Gallo Pinto!). My local favorites included Nacatamal (maise with meat, tomato and spices wrapped in a banana leaf), frintanga (grilled chicken - nica´s grill chicken better than Cornel Sanders!) and vigeron (yucca, salad and rice).

2. The drinks! Local beer was excellent - my fav La Tonia. Also loved the local dring bags (basically a plastic bag with a straw) that you bought off the street (once I stopped worrying about where the water came from). Grama, pitaya and calala were first rate.

3. Granada. What a beautiful little city. Check out the vista at sunset.

And what I won´t miss:

1. The rolling electricity blackouts (5-8 hours ever day)

2. The rolling water cuts (as above)

3. The humidity

4. Cold water shower
