There are two things that we decided we will never get sick of. Watching a beautiful and perfect sunset - which was part of the daily activity at Majagual. We have about 10 pictures that look like those from vacation brochures, and the typical Central American dish, the Gallo Pinto (means Painted Rooster, don`t ask me why they call it that). The plate consists of rice and beans (of course!), plantains, sometimes a little bit of a salad, and some kind of grilled meat or fried whole fish. Sometimes they cook it different ways, with sauce or vegetables, etc. It`s always delicious and usually cost less than $2. My favourite beverage will have to be a Refresco (they call them Licuados in Guatemala) which is just fruit, usually Banana, Pineapple, Papaya, Melon,etc., blended with either water or milk. Yum! We have one or two of those a day.

We haven`t seen a sunset since we departed San Juan for L诮 but at least we have the Gallo Pinto. It`s mighty hot up here so we added ice-cream to our daily diet as well.

The war in the late 1800`s and the 70`s was fought quite heavily up here. Sandinista grafitti can still be seen about town as are some ruins covered in bullet holes. But the town is quite tranquil nowadays. We mostly strolled around the old colonial town checking out the big churches, colonial architecture, adobe houses and different food stands. Off to somewhere else in Nicaragua tomorrow. Will let you know where when we get there.
