San Juan Del Sur

A little piece of heaven on earth, after a week of doing medical relief work in Managua, some friends and I headed down to San Juan Del Sur. We were lucky enough to "discover" this secluded beach it was us and one other party on it. I am sure that by now this little piece of paradise has been discovered. Hopefully, the locals haven't been squeezed out. I pray that they get to share in the benefits of "development/progress"

We are the world, We are the children... of Nicaragua

In addition to lecturing at a Pan-Balkan Trauma Conference, I had the opportunity to meet a fair amount of locals, most of whom were associated with the medical system. While there, I had the chance to hear about the atrocities of war, and the hope of a new future. I was also fortunate enough to meet with internally displaced Serbians living on church grounds. They were the nicest family, taking the time to talk with us and share some moonshine with us (rakia I think). I felt sad that this old couple had to start again so late in life.
