when people talk, listen completely. most people never listen -hemingway
my goal today was to hop from one coloniel city to the next, leon to granada, about 135k. about 13 seconds into the day i realized that this was a pipe dream, as the wind here comes out of the East and almost the entire way is ESE, meaning i had a crosswind at best. it was a really rough day, and i doubted that i would even make it to managua, 95k from leon. but i made it, with some spectacular views of lake managua and surrounding volcaones toward the end of the day. my hotel last night cost C75, but the lady would only take C50, and when i stopped along the way i was treated to a free lunch, pretty cool. and my hotel happens to be right next door to a free internet cafe, so here i am.
