Last week I was in Nicaragua, because Marcus bought a small hotel.

It was also a great excuse to climb the 4,000 foot high Cerros Negros active volcano, and slide DOWN it.

It was dusty, and not that great:

We went back to the hotel to takes showers and get all the volcanic grit out of our nooks & crannies.

We drove to San Juan del Sur and had to visit Giant Jesus

We left late Tuesday night and we were back in Florida by 6AM Friday morning.

It was a whirlwind tour.

I’ve been to Honduras, which is directly north of Nicaragua, and there seems to be zero difference between the 2 countries.

Since I’ve been to Philippines THREE time in the past year I kept thinking about how similar Nicaragua and Phillipines seem to be; both have had a 500 year history since Spain invaded, both countries are corrupt, poor and chaotic, both countries are hot and pretty close to the equator.
