I recall walking in a park in Managua many years ago. The guide told us a battle had been fought here during the Revolution. He said we defeated the National Guard. They are buried beneath your feet. Still gives me the chills. However, there are many stories and many, many more hopeful and sunny than that one.

Cool blog.

I was born in Nicaragua. I suppose it was also about 26 years ago that my father went down to Nicaragua for the same reasons that Lillian did, and that’s how he met my mother. Having moved to the United States when I was only two, I’m now pretty well americanized, but I hold Nicaragua close to my heart. I don’t hear of many delegations to Nicaragua, so I’m glad that you guys got to go. I’m glad that you got to experience the country’s beauty…I’ve tried to describe that beauty to my friends countless times, but this line did a better job than I ever have: “It´s early morning now and across the street a woman is sweeping her sidewalk, a little girl heads to school, a dog wants some attention, trucks lumber down a nearby street, and birds sing.” That’s exactly it. Thank you.
