Nice view of San Cristobal/Vista bonita de San Cristobal

As the rainy season comes to an end, the gray skies come into effect. No problem for us because they signal cooler weather for the next 2 months. We like it!!!

Paso Caballos, Corinto

Here's another popular spot for those who like to swim in the ocean. It is dangerous though because of undercurrents and rocks.

Aquí está otro punto popular para los que les gusta bañarse. Es algo peligroso, sin embargo, por los corrientes y piedras.

IHOP - GHOP ????

I was interested in eating here at GHOP (Camino del Oriente, Managua) cause it looked so much like my favorite International House of Pancakes (IHOP) there in the good ol' USA. Judging from the menu and the place mats, George's House of Pancakes must have a former IHOP employee as entrepreneur. It is a copy down to the dots on the 'i's and the crosses on the 't's. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about the food. It seemed as if they were still working out the bugs. Coffee had a decent flavor but also had some grease on top of it. Pancakes were a little too laden with sodium bicarbonate. The sausage links were good but the hash-browns were grocery store quality and the eggs were...well a little too poached. It is a good idea but falls short, unfortunately. I give this restaurant 6 months or less in the cruel food world of Managua.
