Erin Van Rheenen is on the road in Nicaragua, Panama, and Costa Rica, researching the third edition of her guidebook, Living Abroad in Costa Rica, and (surprise!) is blogging about her trip.
Highlights include:
- The naive paintings of Nicaragua’s Solentiname Islands (they’re gorgeous).
- A gay Cafe in the Nicaraguan jungle (with the only espresso machine in town).
- Elbow-deep in you-know-what at Rancho Margot, an organic farm on Lake Arenal (discover one surprising benefit of an organic diet)
- Of treehouses, sloths, and the mighty mot-mot (“No one messes with the mot-mot”).
