This is our family blog, with impressions from and opinions on our experiences and life in Nicaragua. The sound of silence. Yesterday I heard something I had never heard before. The sound of silence. It was wonderful and made me wonder how come I had to turn 41 before I could actually appreciate it. Or whatever you might be eating, is either accompanied by endless marimba, the honey dipped voice of a romantic Latin lover or salsa so loud it makes your stomach twist and turn. Or even worse –. Just a coupl...

This is our family blog, with impressions from and opinions on our experiences and life in Nicaragua. Maybe next time I will get to the summit. Because I will most certainly return. Cerro Negro is a fairly unknown jewel on the long list it things that are worthwhile visiting in Nicaragua. Far off the beaten track, yes, but who cares, the isolation is part of the show, it just wouldn’t be the same with a bar blasting out local. Posted by Christian Korsgaard. Vínculos a esta entrada.

This is our family blog, with impressions from and opinions on our experiences and life in Nicaragua. A matter of willingness. Living conditions for many coffee growers in Nicaragua are pretty bad. When visiting a Nicaraguan coffee farm, one can only wonder where all the money generated by coffee has gone. It is most certainly not to be found on the farms. She has a point, you know? It is in fact the consumer who decides whether he or she wishes to pay a dollar or two extra for the coffee. Fair trade...

This is our family blog, with impressions from and opinions on our experiences and life in Nicaragua. Nicaragua’s president Daniel Ortega seems set on accomplishing what scientists for centuries have failed to manage. Apparently he wants to invent the time machine – and he seems pretty keen on the project. But no so in the presidential house in Managua. Or should I say, in Daniel Ortega’s house in Managua? Published by Christian Korsgaard. Vínculos a esta entrada. And so it strikes me that this country h...

This is our family blog, with impressions from and opinions on our experiences and life in Nicaragua. Wet, wet, wet. Nicaragua is most certainly the place where the word ‘extremes’ was invented. Either it is so dry that your feet hurt when you walk on the dry grass in our garden – or it is so wet that the same lawn could be used for mud wrestling. As always in this country, it is either-or: Drought or inundation. Published by Christian Korsgaard. Vínculos a esta entrada. To have or to have not. Not so in...

This is our family blog, with impressions from and opinions on our experiences and life in Nicaragua. A girl was killed. I have just carried out my most difficult interview ever. I don’t quite know how I will ever be able to write the article I am supposed to – and then at the same time I can’t avoid writing at least something down right away. It wasn’t until Monday that Clara and her husband by accident heard about the corpse. Just in time, as the mutilated body would have been buried under th...It wasn...

This is our family blog, with impressions from and opinions on our experiences and life in Nicaragua. Just in case anyone out there is wondering, we are all fine. Hurricane Felix struck the Northern part of Nicaragua at 5:30 yesterday morning, just North of Puerto Cabezas, then moved South, and as a consequence spent the entire day in Nicaraguan territory, before disintegrating itself and moving on to Honduras as a tropical storm. As always, solidarity surprises in times of crisis, even in poor Nicaragua...
