    Years ago the director of a Spanish school in Costa Rica told me that Nicaragua was more beautiful, just didn't have the infrastructure for tourism.

    Dont forget the coffee there in Nicauagua! I work with some people from there and they're so super nice. Cafe las Flores is my favourite coffee from there but there's also Casa de Cafe that's also super good. The street food I could do nothing but eat off of the street food. Its so good. And in business areas there, there's a lot more street food to be had, and a lot less beans and rice. While I do like the beans and rice... it can get to be a bit much with every meal. Even the locals I know get a little overdone on the beans and rice.
