Nicaragua: 10 days and counting

I am almost all set for the big trip south of the border. Its been crazy in NM what with law school apps and Obama campaign work and helping my mom unpack her house. Once I get to Nica I will start updating more regularly with the adventures I might find myself on. I went to REI and got some supplies so even though I decided not to get any vaccines, I should be proteceted with my water filtration system and mosquito repelent, DEET and DEET-free, I will be experimenting with. I am getting excited albeit a little nervous considering I speak zero Spanish having taken French in high school. Luckily my darling friend S is coming with.

We are arriving in Managua at 9pm Saturday, November 8 and will be staying in a hostel that night. The following day we are going to find the bus station and take a bus to La Mariposa where we will be staying for four weeks. I have attached their blog so you can see what the eco-lodge is up to as well. I cant wait to find who else will be staying there during our visit.

I am excited for some excellent Nicaraguan coffee!!

You tell 'em Frank Rich!
