That´s a rap

  Having the day off after a long vacation is always nice. Spending half the day removing snow .... Not so much. It did , however give us time to think about  a few things from our trip.
Everyone driving in Nicaragua is in a hurry. I guess , so they can get where they're going faster and do nothing longer.
 Since they saved all this time driving fast. They should  spend the extra nothing time picking up trash.
 I think nicaragua should do an anti pollution campaign. Like "Give a hoot don't pollute. " Or the Indian with the tear in his eye from the 70s. Remember
how bad our roadsides looked before that.
Everywhere in Nicaragua there is barbed wire fences.  No real fence poles. Just straight sticks in the ground with barbed wire attached. Even the small yards in town have them. I'm just not sure what they're trying to keep in or out because their animals are always in the road.
The mornings we spent on the road we would see people fetching their water for the day. Or down at the river wash clothes or bathing their children. If you told them they could have water to there house with 2 or 3 weeks of hard labor , digging or drilling every day. I think they would say ,"That's ok. We we'll just go down to the river. "
 Lindsey said when they put the roundabout in Muy Muy with the big statue in the middle, they ran out of money to finish fixing the road so they left it torn up  with huge ruts.
English lessons  and beer don't mix.
Although Jackson could say
Facebook and I doe no. Usually followed by. Da Da Da.
"I doe no DaDaDa. DaDaDa. " That was his imitation of us.
I have alway been sympathetic about Lindsey circumstances in Nicaragua.
Life there is not always easy and some situations have been tough. But it's March 27 and there is still snow on the ground up here. No more sympathy.
Envy.
Nicaragua is a beautiful country. We were luck enough to have someone along that could speak the language. I do recommend vacationing there. I also recommend Spanish lessons before you go. A small sacrifice will make your time at this  diamond in the rough more enjoyable.
If you do get a chance to go to nicaragua. Don't forget to set  watch back...... To 1930.
 Thanks Lindsey. We all had a great time. Looks like you'll be giving some Spanish lessons when you get home.
