Still in Esteli

When you travel by private vehicle for 6 months, once in a while you need to do some maintenance, like an oil change!

We bought the handmade dolls in a small shop next door to the garage.

Across the street from the garage was the baseball stadium (Nicas love baseball as much as futbal!) with a grand mural.

Outside of town, you can find the crop that supports the economy -- and almost guess you were in the SE US!  Yes, it's tobacco.  Esteli makes some of the worlds finest cigars.

Along the way, leaving Costa Rica, we had decided on the lookout pony and an old man in Esteli sold us some cleansing sage.

But we still never escaped the reach of Disney.

Here is our cabin

At Cuallitlan Hotel.

Which had beautiful gardens, full of bamboo.

And, beer.  And these photos just make me laugh.

Headed to bed, with the new doll...
