Who Doesn’t Love a Good Sunset?
This post is inspired by Avi, who recently made a comment on a photo of a sunset in one of my blog posts which got me thinking…I have seen a lot of amazing sunsets around the world and I should share more of them with you. Apologies if any of these photos are in previous [...]
Haramara Granola Heaven
I absolutely love breakfast foods. Growing up, we often had “breakfast for dinner”. When I discovered that I was gluten-sensitive, the toughest meal to eat was breakfast because so many of the foods contain flour, so as can imagine I set out to re-create a lot of my favorite sans wheat and gluten. A master [...]
When Life Hands You Lemons…
…you go back to Nicaragua. As soon as possible. We got some crappy news today. Our land deal in Nicaragua didn’t come through the way we had hoped, so we are very thankful that we had a fantastic lawyer to advise us. You see, the process of buying property in Nicaragua is really different than [...]
Pretty Darn Good Fish Tacos
I would consider myself a fish taco aficionado. If they are on a menu (and of course are gluten-free), I am eating them. I make it my mission to try as many different varieties as well as restaurants that serve them when I am in Latin America. Last year alone I went to Sayulita, Mexico, [...]
Tranquil Beauty at Nicaragua’s Al Cielo
We headed back up north in Nicaragua for the last five days of our trip to avoid facing any more rain in Little Corn Island before going home to winter. Along with our new European friends, we made the trek to Al Cielo in El Manzano Dos, which is the community next to the site [...]
The Oasis that is Little Corn Island
After our 2-day stint in Granada, we were super excited to fly east to the visit Little Corn Island. We boarded a small La Costeña plane at the Managua International Airport bound for Big Corn Island (BCI), from which we would have to take a water taxi (called a panga) to Little Corn Island (LCI). As [...]
Two Days in Granada
On our way from northern Nicaragua to Little Corn Island on the Atlantic side, we stopped for a couple of days in midwestern city of Granada. Founded in 1524, this colonial city is home to beautiful architecture, several cathedrals, and some really great restaurants. For the trivia buffs, Granada borders Lake Nicaragua, which is the [...]
Our Nicaraguan Love Affair Begins
We had an awesome time in Nicaragua, that much is clear. Our trip was so incredible that I can’t even fathom covering it all in one post, so let’s start at the beginning. We arrived at the Managua airport late on a mid-December evening and were whisked off to our first stop: El Coco Loco [...]
The Winds of Change
Things are changing in my life, both professionally and personally. Over the years I have taken on various entrepreneurial pursuits, some successful, while others could be termed as ‘great learning experiences’. Through all of these endeavors, I have learned a lot about myself and those around me. I have been incredibly lucky to learn from [...]
Spending the Day of the Dead in Sayulita, MX
I am in love with Sayulita, Mexico. This past fall I was fortunate enough to coordinate my trip to include partaking in the Day of the Dead (or in spanish Día de Muertos) festivities. A bit of history: Mexico commemorates the Day of the Dead annually on November 1st and 2nd. The holiday focuses on gatherings of [...]
