San Juan de Limay

Yami and I went on a trip! This was... surprising since I didn't have any idea we were going. First, we took a bus for three hours from Managua to Esteli. There is nothing remarkable about Esteli in my opinion. Then, we jumped to another bus on our way to San Juan del Limay (also another three hours).

San Juan de Limay was, however, very neat. The distance between San Juan de Limay and Esteli really isn't that far, what takes so long is that the bus (which was the exact same bus I took to school from age 5-17 except it was covered in dramatic symbols of Jesus) has to transverse all these winding mountain roads.

There was a dramatic downpour as soon as we arrived in the city. Yami asked if I wanted to wait until the next day to travel out to visit the artisans in the area or go right then, so I said screw it and lets go.

After walking the the selva for 20 minutes we reached a group of artisans who took us around the village; many of these women lived without electricity and made necklaces and small beads to sell. Later we visited a cooperative house that had originally started with 20 women but now only had four.

Besides the horrible bus it was all and all a good trip.
