It's a good time for a refreshing swim in the pool below la cascada [the waterfalls] after a hike through the beautiful mountains in the park.

Go to our Skype online Spanish school to get ready for your next trip to a Latin- American country.

Los vendedores callejeros [street vendors] are busy selling their many types de los melones [types of melons] as the season comes in. I bought una sandía muy dulcea [a very sweet watermelon] for just C$120 córdobas ($4.44) just three blocks away.
They also sell locally grown piñas [pineapples] for excellent prices.
At Spanish Conversation School of Estelí we also online Skype Spanish classes

This horse just delivered a load of tropical fruit to a sidewalk fruit vendor in front of La antigua estación sur de autobuses [The old south bus station] here in Estelí, Nicaragua just two blocks away. The old caballero [cowboy] is getting something sweet to carry back to the finca [small farm] for his family. Notice the colorful mural on the wall.

A colorful mural #skypespanish

Estelí is famous for its wonderful diversity of hand painted murals. Here is a good example of one. We offer a guided tour of some of Estelí's new and historic murals.

Their specialty was Surf-'n-Turf (Mar y Tierra).
The ambiance is pleasant and the food was good. I have enjoyed dining there in the past. I had hoped they would have continued. The location was not good for casual walk-in diners. The building is now for sale.

1000 Isletas http://www.spanishclassesonline.biz/buy-classes.html

The boat gets so close to the monkeys they can get in the tour boat if the captain isn't careful to stay out of reach while you take pictures. The monkeys will even pose for you. lol

These islands were created from an eruption that is believed to have occurred when Volcán Mombacho was being formed so long ago.

For the price of 10 córdobas your child gets 10 laps around the bandstand. Most of the time they can learn to drive these battery-powered carritos by themselves. Whoa, if the battery dies a young boy will push them around by hand.

This is the view to the South, towards Popoyo and Rancho Santana. A few years ago The New York Times reported that the surfing in Popoyo, Nicaragua was the best surfing in the western hemisphere.

Hi, my name is Kenny. I retired from Eastman Kodak in 2005 and ended up in Nicaragua after spending a few boring years in Florida retirement. Now I'm busy volunteering at a Spanish school in Estelí.
No more will I sit around a swimming pool listening to the gossipers tear everyone up or complaining for hours on end on how bad the management of the seniors complex is and repeating the same complaints beyond count ad nauseam. I help people start businesses and do a little evangelizing too. I broke free of the chains of the so-called American Retirement Dream and every day face new challenges, wins and losses. But at last I'm really living.
