It's winter in Nicaragua, the season of no rain, a lot of wind and dust and temperatures in the low 90's. This means that the usual sensual verdancy is resting, getting ready to burst into incredible greenness and fecundity. In about 2 months. So, it feels like a long time coming and we simply endure, one day at at time.
Santiago, Managua's volcano, puffs some smoke into the air, adding to the diesel fumes and the smell of local garbage burning.
One good thing about this month: it's the beginning of mango season. Mangoes are easily the best fruit on earth. Nicaragua also offers some of the best coffee on earth and certainly the best rum on earth. And those small, spicy bananas are readilyavailable, too. Along with the watermelons, papayas, mandarin oranges, red grapefruit and a whole lot of other wonderful fruits.
So, I hope the clowns will eat fruit, drink coffee and rum and enjoy their time making Nicas of all kinds laugh through their pain.
