Hanging In Leon For A Nicaraguan History Lesson!
/1 Comment/in Central America, Nicaragua, Travelogue /by allanLeón has a distinctively comopolitan flair. But not as you find in more internationally famous cities such as New York, Paris, Rome or San Francisco, but rather unique amongst its Central American counterparts. Not gentrified and roaming with gringo tourists as you might find in Antigua, rather still brimming with a traditional culture yet reaching […]
Old Leon Nicaragua.
/0 Comments/in Central America, Nicaragua, Travelogue /by allanI find the road leaving Selva Negra to Matagalpa and then onto Managua much different in sunlight than my previous experience in rain. It’s easier to avoid the potholes and I’m quickly buzzing through Managua making my way to Leon – one of the oldest cities in all of Central America. Along the way I […]
Shade Grown Coffee In The Black Forest?
/3 Comments/in Central America, Nicaragua, Travelogue /by allanBy the time I avoided my 900th pothole and was in the city limits of Matagalpa, Nicaragua’s 4th largest city a worn hand-painted sign welcoming me simply and scribbly stated that the national government was responsible for the condition of the road.

Nicaragua. Beyond The Border.
/4 Comments/in Central America, Honduras, Nicaragua, Travelogue /by allanThe Honduran/Nicaraguan border at Los Manos was the busiest and most frenetic I’d encountered.

I do the best I can to explain that […]
Dark And Wet Delays.
/4 Comments/in Central America, Honduras, Travelogue /by allanI had hoped to make it close to the Nicaraguan border before sunset. Even the one-legged man at the gas station in Tegucigalpa assured me that I’d get to Danli before nightfall. In his sixties, he had an easy going demeanor for a panhandler. A torn and dirty baseball cap slipped over his matted straw-like […]
Tela. Oh Tela.
/0 Comments/in Central America, Honduras, Travelogue /by allanI like Tela. It’s quiet. It’s on the warm water of the Caribbean. And it has a mix of Latin America and Caribbean culture. I’ve decided to stay here for a few days. My intent in coming to the Caribbean coast of Honduras was to visit Roatan or Utilia, two the islands that make up […]
Hat Trick and the Banana Republic. Beach at last.
/0 Comments/in Central America, Honduras, Travelogue /by allanIn Many third or second world countries, organized public transportation is virtually non-existent. For major routes scheduled “chicken” buses depart from parking lots or sometimes in the larger cities and actual bus station. But for locals to shuttle from small towns to slightly bigger towns for market, visiting friends or simply getting around, transportation is […]
