PART 5: Winter break
 

 flag   Route Map    El Castillo, Nicaragua   »  December 15, 2012

El Castillo - a small river town of about 1500 people. No cars, no motorcycles. I think I am going to like it.

Photo:  El Castillo, Nicaragua → 4:30 pm and I came back to taste it. Only 30 Cordobas, so about $1.20. It was delicious! I had two of them.
