Nicaraguan Adventure - Day 10: Back to civilization (1/5/11)

Woke up early and had our breakfast (I destroyed some more coffee/tea) and walked to the bus stop to catch the bus back to Esteli. Upon returning, we went back to our hostel to get locally produced coffee and cigars for people back home, but unfortunately there were no coffee beans for sale. We get to the bus station and head to Matagalpa, where we get a cab to and check into our hostel, La Buena Onda. We got a warm shower and then head out to walk around town as I want to find coffee to bring home. We go into coffee shops where I taste the coffee before buying beans and I cannot find the coffee I had up there, though this coffee was good as well. We then head back to the hostel and make plans for the next day or 2. 


Grabbing lunch in a new city. Looks tasty doesnt it? We thought so too :) 
Barista showing off. hahah Then I had a cup since then and realized this is pretty common place. Either way, it is neat how they can make designs in the coffee.
This was a poster in the coffee shop. Thought it was cool the variety of possible designs.  Kiinda want to challenge the people at the cafe to make em all just so i can see it happen.
Went to Casa Grande for dinner; the food is OK (have had better for cheaper) but they had shark somehow (they were out – maybe they don't ever really have it they just say they do as a gimmick). The table next to us ordered “El Metro” which was a party-sub sized dish with an assortment of appetizers, was pretty impressive looking. After dinner, we head to a nearby bar, Woodys bar and grill, which was all indoors but was an “outdoor patio bar” in feeling. We played darts and had a few beers before heading back to the hostel to call it a night.


Grabbing dinner on a balcony in Matagalpa. Time to feast!
Brave man sitting under the dart board. Yeah we played a few rounds there as that was the actual dartboard. But we took a break to enjoy the swinging chair every now and again.
