Found

I found my watch! It disappeared last weekend in Hemsedal, but has now miraculously appeared again in Nicaragua. Must have been something to do with loosing my sunnies and carma and all.

Anyway, today has been another very eventful day. We started out with breakfast at Big Foot, the local hangout for backpackers and alike and had a very "Nicaraguan" breakfast of granola, youghurt and bagels before walking around town looking for sights. The cathedral which is the biggest in Central America was unfortunately closed, but we found a memorial for heroes and martyres as well as a former prison and a headless priest. Then we were invited to a street party by strangers, watched a local baseball match and roamed around the graveyard. All this before drinking a few litres of beer costing the grand amount of C$ 26 a pop (AU$2 og 12NOK) and taking a microbus back to the city centre. Microbuses are a funny phenomenon and exists in Guatemala as well, it's minivans driving along the road, picking up everyone for C$ 3 (about one krone or 20c) and taking you (after driving everyone else home first) to where you want to go. Convienient albeit not always the fastest way to get around.

Nevertheless, all of this naturally makes for lots of impressions which in addition to very hot weather makes me tired. So disregard the "local" time on this blog post, it's far from 4am in the morning, but I am tired and heading to bed.

Hasta luego, I'm up for Spanish classes mañana!
