Nicaragua Memoir #1

A joy to add this to my growing list of international memoirs: Costa Rica, Taiwan, Zimbabwe, etc. I have enjoyed the beautiful people and places of this amazing little country for the past two Christmas holidays. And I am in the process of imaging my future there. As a public school teacher in Maryland (the state with the 50th ranked retirement system) it's clear that the "good days" are the ones where I'm working! Once it's my turn to rest out the golden years, to do so here would be simply impossible. But doing it in a "third world country" would at least be plausible. And I can't think of a more placid and congenial place than Nicaragua. More to come soon.
