It's Tuesday at 4:30 pm here in Carazo and it just started to cloud over this aft and now the air is heavy. Him sure feel rain come. Rained about a week ago nicely but dried up quick and the heat started to build again.

According to the weather forecast (or as my father used to say in his Polish accent, "da weddor whorecast") lightning storms are predicted for Managua starting now and for the rest of the week. I have all my electrical appliances hooked up to surge protectors and checked them just now to make sure they are in working order.

Toilet paper shortage in Caracas:

Clearly the working-class of Venezuela is ignoring its obligation to the supreme sacrifice of the Christ-like god-child, Commandante Jesu Cristo, Santo Hugo, el pajarito.

All around the globe the downtrodden, oppressed, exploited masses of neo-liberal exploitation are calling out to their Venezuelan brothers and sisters ...

So, I was bored and did a google search on "strange laws in "nicaragua"". I found this one on http://www.livingreefs.com/strange-laws-t28919.html

Hi, I lived in SJDS for about a year and had a good Nica friend named Anibal Vega. He was a ex-baseball player and coaches kids to play in the majors. We also had a few small business ideas we were working on.

Hi,

Thanks to the generosity of a friend who loves dogs, I have a ride into Managua next week to get her too long hair cut and groomed. While she is getting the spa treatment, I will be looking for a good computer shop to buy (hopefully) a wireless printer, and possibly even a CD/DVD accessory for my Mac Air book, which lacks a reader. It also has only 1 usb port, which is why I am looking for a wireless printer. (Or, I'd be interested in a second hand model if anyone out there has a usable one for sale.)

Can anyone give me any ideas about going to Costa Rica to get my new 90 day visa for Nicaragua?

Do they make you stay the full 72 hours?

Any problem with taking a vehicle?

nice but inexpensive place to stay within a couple of hours from the border?

I need some schooling!

Dear readers,

My name is Ingrid, 44 years old, Dutch (ex-graphic design) and together with a good friend of mine (Victor, 42 years old, ex-Marine) I am looking for a (long term) house sit project in Nicaragua, preferably in or close by León, starting from end Summer/begin Fall.

I lived in Nicaragua before: 2,5 years in wonderful León and although I now house and pet sit in France, I would love to go back to Nicaragua.

I'm having trouble with my Claro net connection. Within the last hour I did three speed tests and got 0.05 Mb/s, 1.41 Mb/s, and 0.11 Mb/s. Last month one of my tests was 3.15 Mb/s. How do I find out if the problem is with Claro, or with me? I'm in Yalaquina, 10 - 15 km from Somoto.

I'm on the hunt for detailed maps of various regions of Nicaragua, including topographical maps if they exist. Does anyone know of a store or government office in Managua where these are sold? If so, can you provide me with the address?

Many thanks for anyone who can provide me with this information.

The Nica BF and I are planning on going to Mexico next week and we were thinking of renting a house for 3 months there. As a US citizen I automatically get 6 months at entry so no problem on my end but concerned as to what he receives. We went to PV at Christmas for a week but we can NOT read the scribble they wrote in his passport and his old passport is in Nica so can't consult that either as to his previous couple of entries and they were almost 3 years ago so things could have changed since then anyway. We are currently in the US and plan to fly directly from here to there.

Are very large marmoline kneeling or sitting female statues (2-4 foot tall) available anywhere (preferably in Leon as I'll never make it to Limay)?

I did not get a chance to stop at what appeared to be an artisan's co-op on the old road to Leon. Outside their shop they had on roadside display some 2-3 foot tall statues of dragon/snake head, but I will be looking for something more contemporary.

Hello all.

Just attempted to make it to price smart from the Santo Domingo area with no luck!! From what I was told they are starting to widen Masaya highway and have started to do so at the Jean paul Gennie rotunda!! Police have closed off Masaya Highway at approx 8km (towards MGA) Backgrounds around this area seemed to be at a deadlock as well--as everyone is scrambling to find alternate routes!!
