Going to Nicaragua!!!

Just remember that when you jump in a taxi in Esteli, it is considered public transport. The driver will pick up 5 other people going in your general direction and drop them off along the way. It should only cost 50 US cents for the cab.
Also enjoy the local Nica heavy metal bar downtown, The Titanic (not the Titanic fish restaurant on the Pan American). The are amused by the rare Gringo and sell liters of beer for $1.50.
