Esteli

We made the treck to Esteli--a four hour bus ride away. Not bad, except that it meant transferring through Managua. Immediatly upon arriving, there were atleast TEN men standing at the exit to the bus, screaming at us, pushing us towards their taxis, and wanting to "help us" in whatever way they could. We managed to push past them, and then spent over an hour looking for our next bus connection.

Apparently, people here are incapable of giving actual directions, other than telling us we need to go to "una otra llugar, un otra llugar." Finally, after trying four otra llugares, we made it onto a bus headed up north.

Overcrowded, and VERY greasy.

We loved Esteli. It was more relaxed and quieter than Granada. We especially enjoyed the city's decour. Here, we find Eminem next to a beautiful pictorial scene.

 

 Life mimicking art, as we enjoy the graffiti-ed walls.
