I am fluent in Spanish now as long as fluent means I cannot speak much

Nicaragua

This is longest that I have spent in Nicaragua since 2012 and it was a great time. I wasn’t really jet lagged  (surprisingly) but pretty lazy to start off. Took me for ever to get some work done around the house.

Weather was great to start but starring warming up towards the end of February.

Nothing really exciting other than the highway from the border with Costa Rica is under construction. That should be good for tourism and development but could risk our private little paradise becoming too popular. But if it is good for the locals that is the important thing.

I guess the other thing of notice is that I am the proud father of a bouncing baby Cow that is pregnant. Actually I am half owner. I put up the cash and my friend does all the work. I am not a good cattleman. I absolutely insisted that the cow and eventually calve be treated humanely and no abuse. Profits go down because of this but I don’t care. I more or less didn’t to help my friend and will just buy more when we sell. The cows are free range until they meet their bovine maker so I could buy into that.

I am currently Managua and will fly a bizarre way to get to Medellin that takes two days but if I am retired I need to change my spending habits. Being that I have time on my hands I decided to do it this way.

I will start Spanish lessons when I get settled into Medellin.

Update April 2017 I have not started Spanish Lesson

Onward
