Second day in Esteli... eating lots of Nicaraguan food... ate half a tub of one litre ice cream... quite nice... chocolate and almonds... in Belize the company was Marco Polo, in Guatemala and Honduras it was Sarita... am moving on now to Eskimo...

was sitting with a friend eating the tub last night... three little boys came running up looking like they were going to steal our ice cream... the eight your old made eye contact with me... stopped dead in his tracks... and his two buddies stopped as well...

sometimes humanity is beautiful..

then the ice cream lady shewed them out of the store

its hard to know how to give money here. i didn´t get a chance to meet my sponsor child in honduras because they want 4 months notice so they can do a security check...

the boys didnt look like they were starving... they just wanted ice cream..

Went to some waterfalls today... walked a lllllllllllloooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnng way to get there... bought two books... one by the much celebrated nicaraguan author and poet, Ruben Dario (think i got that right)... will read on bus tomorow on my way to Leon...

think i am going to buy a cheap nicaraguan guitarre and start writing music again...

will send some pics... as soon as i can find a place to format my camera.

incidently, there is a pet duck in the hotel i am staying at

i have too much honduran money on me now... and the banks wont change it (looooooooooooonger story)... i think i have to go back to the border to change it...

everybody LOVES the american dollar here...

-sigh-
