I'm glad to be in Nicaragua.
On a practical level, most of the "dangerous" sections of Latin America are now behind me. The US/México border area, riddled with narco crimes is past. I've avoided the drug triangle of the states of Guerrero and Michoacán. I've been cautioned for several weeks on the poverty areas and the crimes in Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras.
But, I'm most glad to be with the Nicaraguans. These are kind, hard-working people. I've been offered help on several occasions. Most people are just shocked with what I'm doing, but then they get it... much more so than anyone else. I'm constantly told "how beautiful it must be to travel and speak with people". They understand that the intriguing part is the "adventure" of the trip instead of looking for other reasons like so many other people do. Most importantly, I just feel friendly and safe.
Thank you Nicaragua!!!
