So I went down to Nicaragua for 'vacation'. I think as I enter into my mid-thirties, vacations tend to mean relaxation, books, food, drink and zoning out. This trip had some of those things but most assuredly not all of them.
It was, however, simply awesome.
Despite the lack of maps.
Despite the (upon hindisght) stupidity of going for 'cheap' with the car rental.
Despite (see above) our Suzuki Alto.
Despite our many run-ins with the law. (to be added to my CV: "Can argue for a substantial amount of time in broken Spanish with ridiculously corrupt Nicaraguan Police)
Despite wanting to simply die and wake up in a Beaches Resort.
It is beautiful and horrible and wonderful and chaotic there.
I loved it.
So now I unpack, wash and repack as I leave for Israel next Friday. Wooboy.
