Nicaragua 2


So I´m in Nicaragua. I like the sound of it. It seems foreign, even dangerous. There are still buildings with bullet hole in it, and numerous war (revolution) memorials around. But in reality, Granada, and the parts of Nicaragua I´ve seen are a lot more touristy and main stream than anything in Honduras (except the islands). There are more ex-pats (not to mention post cards) and more English spoken here then anywhere near home. It´s ok to walk around after dark. The locals even drink the water. All in all, Nicaragua seems way more up and comming than anything Honduras.

So, like Sarajevo, we need to get the reputation of a place that we held from childhood out of our heads and accept a place for what it is now, not what it was. We really should do it with people, too, but do we?

I suppose it´s harder to see a person than a city.
