Does anyone know of any bars or other public places that will telecasting the NHL Playoffs? I know that Sky TV here was carrying regular season games this year.

Starting March 9th and lasting about three weeks, the 42nd annual Atlantic Coast Baseball Series will be held in Pearl Lagoon. Games will take place in the stadiums of Pearl Lagoon as well as the nearby communities of Kukra Hill and Haulover. For those that are interested, I uploaded the schedule at http://www.buildinnicaragua.com/carribean-baseball-series-2013/schedule/

We were hoping to go to a game in Rivas in the next couple of weeks, can anyone advise what night there is a home game if at all?

this is a big deal for the Nicaraguan surfing community and for me personally, I am excited to see past champions like Tom Curren and Layne Beachley...they aren't saying exactly where it will be held yet but I bet it will be at Playa Iguana unless the surf is huge in which case it will be at Popoyo or if super-huge, Popoyo Outer Reef.

Event Will Be the Country's First Time Hosting a Surfing World Championship

Nicaragua ISA World Masters Surfing Championship July 14 to 22, 2012

This is some peoples' idea of fun. The article features the winner of a 100 km (62 mile) ultramarathon on Isla Ometepe. He finished the event, which included a run up Volcan Maderas, in 13 hours and 8 minutes.

“This is some of the most technical and muddy terrain imaginable up into the crater, around the crater lake and down through what is called the “Jungle Gym” where runners are reduced to hand-over-hand maneuvers through trees and roots so thick you are 3-4 feet off the ground at certain points, climbing down embankments with ropes,” he wrote.

Belize's loss was Nicaragua's gain. A ProNicaragua News release and some background on the event that had been previously held in Belize.

And now for some extreme mountain biking.... Austrian Markus Stoeckl set a new world speed record for serial mountain bikes on gravel, reaching 164.95 km/h on the Cerro Negro volcano.

Anybody know locations in MGA and SJDS for dealers...I know Pellas is Yamaha, but people does not seem to know location of the OB shop in MGA or if there is one in SJDS. Also..Merc/Mariner?

You are here in San Juan Del Sur, because you are looking for an adventure, and paintball in our jungle river course is a great way to start. Join in on our daily games or tournaments. Each of our games are based on one of our 25 scenarios. A scenario is based on a past, present, future or fictional war, giving different missions to each game.

There is an onsite snack shop and gear rental shop. You will be suited up with one of our M-16 assualt rifle paintball guns,

This is where the "tall tales" can go but the current discussion is revolving around lodges and fishing excursions.

Not real familiar w/ the Poneloya area - can anyone who surfs and is familiar please let me know of any 'good ' spots in the area. Send private message if you want.Promise I won't tell.

Thanks, Tim

After midday, I took the 19´ Carolina Skiff and piggy-backed (actually turtled) the 12´ aluminum Starcraft to Limbaika to meet Jorg and his wife Vera. Jorg brought his own 15 HP outboard motor and rented the Starcraft from us.

Does anyone know of a secure place to play in a pickup basketball game in Managua?
