Wish I had known you were headed that way -- we have family scattered from Boaco to Muy Muy to Matiguás to Rio Blanco. A cousin manages the finca right about where the white car is at the crest of the hill in the background. His wife runs the pulperia/comedor on the road.

It is indeed beautiful country with vibrant people.

well...

I liked boaco a lot,it was cool seeing all these houses one over another :-P, I couldn't get pics. of Very Very (Muy Muy) 'cause I was asleep :-(

I was wanting to ride a horse but my friend's family didn't have any finca or horses I guess. they had a small pulpería tho.

The people are so humble,caring and kind, we were invited to this lady's house to eat almost 2 times while we were there only 'cause she liked our company,not a big effort for us to do either :-D

It was a nice trip! u were in Granada tho, didn't I tell u I was going?

Next time! :-P

take care,

Looks like a nice country town. A tour guide whom I met in Costa Rica was from Matagalpa and waxed nostalgic. Brings a tear to my eye. Nice and cool in the mountains there I heard.

This is not Nicaragua

there's a road.... a tarmac road.....with a WHITE LINE down the middle.

Come on, we weren't born yesterday (at least I wasn't).

Mind, on a second look, don't I see the Nicaraguan National Flower?

As fyl would say, this is the "real Nicaragua".

He is correct.

Didn't I see you on the 'worst road in Nica' post? I can only comment on the Managua/Granada/Rivas/SJDS area because that's all I've seen but the roads weren't like that.

Surprise surprise surprise

...as Gomer Pyle would say. Despite all the inflated prices, egos, etc., of the "riviera" of Nicaragua, and all the so-called attention of the "route to riches" (aka Pacific coast highway), the rest of Nicaragua has figured out how to have decent roads. Maybe it's just my cynicism, but I think the rural folks only care about getting their goods to market, whereas the "riviera" area wants to know how to cash in on everything from roads to hammers to nails.
