The roads in Nicaragua are uniformily bad. This little country has so many potholes that it must be importing them from the old Soviet Union. No curbs, no white lines and few signs. The good news is that I can ask in Spanish¨, Is this the road to .........: The people are friendly and always glad to help. There are many fresh fruit stands which I have made good use of. The management is a man with a big knife who will slice up the fruit so you can eat it right there.... which is common. I´ve eaten some delicious fruits. The watermelon here is very tasty.The cool garb is jungle battle dress from the old Contra Days. Mostly just the pants. Daniel Ortega is the president again, but he is a different man. He is now a millionaire and his son married into a Grandioso family, so his politics have changed considerably.

There are Taco Bells, McDonalds and all the other fast food joints you can imagine. There is only one pretzel shop in the whole country.
Nothing like a little capitalistic success to convert the revolutionary. lol
