Return to Nicaragua

I was drinking rum at a bar after sandboarding down an active volcano for the second time, as one does, and decided it was the perfect time to reflect on real-estate, backpacker trends, eco-tourism, and the ethics behind Poverty Tourism. See-sawing between crater lakes, poverty, fun and despair, Nicaragua remains off the beaten path, but not probably not for much longer.

Volcano Boarding in Nicaragua

Hitting the town of Leon a few days early, I find true adventure boarding down an active volcano at sunset dressed in a bright orange jump suit. With the rum as smooth as marble,and freshwater sharks bouncing off chicken boats, I overdose on colonial charm and Bloody Mary’s in Granada, island hop with pirates and parrots, and finish up dressed like a transvestite lounge singer. In Nicaragua, I guess these things happen.
