I know I have not been doing a great job of blogging, so I
figured it was about time,
You know you’re in Nicaragua when…
- You
see a random herd of goats taking themselves for a walk down the street.
Everyday. - Two
grown men on one bike is not gay. - You
see a man pushing a wheel barrel of piglets down the street, stop to take
a picture and YOU are considered the weirdo. - Gringa
becomes your pet name. - A car
horn becomes the new way to “just give a shout out”. - Shout
out to Kayla. - You
determine where to hang out based on who has a couch. - You
regularly eat dinner out of a banana leaf. - It
feels weird to be clean. - You’ve
forgotten what air conditioning feels like. - 5’6 is
considered abnormally tall. - No
matter the song, someone is clapping along with it. Most likely off beat. - Seeing
random drum lines in the street becomes second nature. - You
hear fireworks at all hours of the day. No one knows why. - You
wake up to two American songs and one Latina song playing full blast at
the same time at the same place. - They
block off your street for the most intense pick-up soccer game ever. - You wake up and there is cat poop
in your shower. Awesome. - All
the little kids call you Anita. - You
see a little boy peeing off his front porch onto the street at three in
the afternoon. - You meet
a man who’s English consists of the sentence ” do you want to buy some
Cheese?”
More next week if we feel like it.
Adios.
Hi Anita,
It feels weird to be clean when I’m at the farm. No bananas there though. I liked your list.
Do you want to buy some cheese??
Do you want to buy some cookies??
What is your name??
🙂
Oh my Anne! Sounds like a different kind of world down there! What an experience.

P.S. Bring me back a piglette please.

“No matter the song, someone is clapping along with it. Most likely off beat.”…I’m guessing that YOU are the one that is off beat am I correct? 🙂 LOVE YOU ANNE!
I’m kinda offended now.. Maybe that’s just the Nicarao Indians.. But I can relate to some of them!
Really? Your experience is really limited.
If its so bad why were you there? You make it seem like my country is full of barbaric people.
