For Semana Santa, 4 of us took off in the 1994 Kia that some of the Agora fellows recently purchased. Admittedly, it is the least car-like automobile I’ve ever ridden in. But it was quite an experience, and we covered lots of ground: from Managua, up to the NW corner in Mechapa, then across to the mountains of Matagalpa. Here are some highlights:
horses on the beach in Mechapa
bungalow front porch
desayuno tipico – huevos revueltos, gallo pinto, tostones, y queso. con crema, claro.
Mike, the American owner of Redwoods Beach Resort in Mechapa, who let us take over his tiki bar every night, and Rich, his trusty Portuguese-Canadian chef/sidekick.
Selva Negra, coffee plantation, organic farm/restaurant & resort in the mountains above Matagalpa.
