From rakkity:
Mike & Diane,
Very interesting tale by two bikers on their way around the world.
They passed through Esteli, Nicaragua on their way south. Cindie,
the main writer of the pair, spoke to a young fellow in Esteli who said
he was a Sandanista and hated capitalism. Cindie shamefacedly admits
that she told him they were canadian, the only time she couldn’t confess
to being americans.
They continued on to the Nicaraguan coast and then down to Costa Rica,
where they saw the elusive Quetzal bird (we tried, but failed) and saw the
same kind of monkeys we saw in Baru. This fearless biker couple seems to
be in Chile now.
How is Matt’s knowlege of recent american history? Does he know about
Ronald God Raygun’s messing around with Nicaragua? If not, he will sure
learn about it while learning Spanish in Esteli!
I thought quetzals were Mayan myth……..
Did Matt follow up on the journal?
“Esteli, Nicaragua: Still the Stronghold of the FLZN / Sandinista Rebellion and
The Museum of Sandinista Heroes and Martyrs”
It DOES sound like a dicey place for died-in-the-wool capitalists, though scrappy American youth, however enmeshed in affluent suburbia, do surely not have their life’s matrix tatooed on their foreheads. And their just-got-out-of-bed wardrobe may even serve them well there………
Ed — I hereby publicly take Mike to task in your name for posting this entry as a post-facto P.S. to an extant blog entry. We all mostly just scan for new comments, blind to the entry itself, believing we’ve read it. It’s a perverse test Mike runs quite frequently, apparently oblivious to the predictable results……
