Nica Friends















While here in Nicaragua we have enjoyed getting to know several people who live in Aserradores, many of which work here at the Restaurant and some who are just members of the community.
Raul, now in Managua, Marcio the chef, Joe and Eleda the owners of local restaurant "fritanga" the Marias, Jose, Jose and Eugenia, Nielsen, Senar, Walter, Guillermo, Cesar, Pedro and his family, Nohemy, Pedrito, Samir, la Nina, Ricardo, Paulino, Lionel, Estrellita, and lots more. They are wonderful, wonderful people. We will miss these smiling faces, our students, our friends.


We Have Visitors!


Brian and Nancy Sperry flew down from Boulder, Colorado to see us. After spending an extra day in Managua due to luggage that failed to get on their same flight, they spent the better part of a day driving and getting a bit lost in Chinendega, before finally rolling into our marina just before dark. They managed to get a hotel room at the local surf camp and we proceeded to have five action packed days of fishing, sightseeing, and shenanigans that only friends who haven't seen each other in a while can tolerate! We have affectionately referred our get togethers as "Band Camp" as in American Pie, the movie. Here's to another Band Camp in Ecuador!
