Enoteca...en Managua







I learned today, in Managua, Nicaragua, something that I never learned on the two trips I have made to Italy.  I don't know how I could have missed this but....ENOTECA means wine shop in Italian.  In Managua, we ate at Enoteca - Vinos + Café, located two doors to the west of the north entrance of Simans in Las Galerías de Santo Domingo.  It was a pleasant surprise.  I didn't come ready to taste wine but they offer samples, mostly Chilean, Argentinan y Spanish, from a quick glance around.  I asked about some late harvest Maipo Valley (Chile) wine...OOS but coming soon.  Anyways, back to the food.  I had a spanish ham, salami and provolone cheese panino with my Coke Zero.  Afterwards, I had that nice cup of cappuccino.  Yes, I will be back.

Prices

On a scale of 1 to 10,  I give it an 8.

Hoy aprendí algo, en Managua, Nicaragua, que por algún raro motivo nunca aprendí las dos veces que visité a Italia.  ENOTECA significa tienda de vinos en italiano.  En Managua, almorzamos en Enoteca - Vinos + Café, lugar ubicado en Las Galerías de Santo Domingo, dos tiendas al oeste de la entrada norte de Simans.  ¡Que grata sorpresa!  No vine a probar el vino pero podés degustarlo diariamente.  Pude ver una variedad de vinos, mayormente de Chile, Argentina y España.  Pregunté por un vino vendimia tardía del Valle de Maipo, Chile pero no había...pronto quizá ;)  Pues me comí un panino de jamón español, salami y queso provalone y una Coca Zero.  Después, tomé esa rica taza de un cappuccino.  Seguro vuelvo a este lugar.

Precios

De 1 a 10, le doy un 8.

La Oficina de Turismo de Nicaragua ha lanzado una asociación con TACA para impulsar las reservas a través de Expedia.com hacia el país centroamericano, que reportó un crecimiento de 11,5% en los arribos turísticos durante la primera mitad del año.
Los usuarios que vayan a Expedia.com pueden ahorrar hasta el 33% en paquetes de vuelo y hotel, reservar promociones de alojamiento en populares resorts de playa en Nicaragua como Pelican Eyes, Morgan's Rock y Punta Teonoste, o reservar tours que exploran las ciudades coloniales del país, sus lagos, volcanes y reservas naturales.
Además, pueden reservar vuelos con descuentos en TACA, que ofrece servicios a precios razonables desde grandes ciudades de Norteamérica, incluidos vuelos diarios sin escala desde Miami.
El pasado año, Nicaragua recibió a un millón de turistas internacionales, y durante el primer semestre de 2012 ha reportado un crecimiento interanual de 11,5% en los arribos. Con esta campaña de otoño en Expedia.com, el país centroamericano y TACA buscan incrementar aun más esas cifras.
Mario Salinas, ministro de Turismo, señaló que "la asociación con TACA es una pieza central en la estrategia para aumentar el turismo a Nicaragua. Queremos posicionarnos como un destino principal para el turismo en Centroamérica, promoviendo a nuestra nación como un destino único con amplios atractivos para el mercado norteamericano".

I was wrong...GHOP. Me equivoqué...GHOP

About three years ago, I visited GHOP, an IHOP look alike en Camino de Oriente in Managua, Nicaragua. I gave it six months...

Hace casi tres años, visité a GHOP, un restaurante clon de IHOP, ubicado en Camino de Oriente, Managua, Nicaragua.  Pensé que no vería la luz del día después de seis meses....

Original post

Guess what?  It's still there are going strong.  From other comments, it has had a reasonable acceptance among the Managua eatery crowd.  So, I decided to give it another try.

¿Sabés que?  Está allí todavía, fuerte y sobreviviendo.  De los comentarios de otros, ha tenido una aceptación razonable entre los de Managua.  Así que decidí probarlo otra vez.



 





We had one of the lunch specials: $4.95 for soup, salad, drink and dessert.  As the pictures indicate, it was really good!  My apologies to GHOP (George's House of Pancakes) and may you have years of success to come....

Pedimos uno de los especiales de almuerzo:  $4.95 para sopa, ensalada, bebida y postre.  Como indican las fotos, ¡estuvo rico!  Mil disculpas le pido a GHOP y que tengan años de éxito por venir....

Flying To The New Airstrip In Greytown, Nicaragua (VIDEO)

"Stories caught on film," says the mission statement of the Nomading Film Festival, "while traveling, are some of the most entertaining, educating, beautiful and authentic." I agree. This helps explain the allure of travel videos fresh from the field, now streaming in all corners of the Internet from all corners of the world, from amateur point-and-shooters to professional videographers.

Here's my contribution below, from a recent trip to Nicaragua. I was aboard one of the first passenger planes to land on the new airstrip in Greytown, in the extreme southeast corner of the country, a.k.a. San Juan de Nicaragua, a.k.a. San Juan del Norte. Not even the locals could agree on the name of their town.

Turn it up. The croc's name is "Juanchito":


Moises Gadea, the Nicaraguan musician who wrote and played the original music in this video, will be performing live in Boulder, Colorado, on Saturday, September 8, 2012. He is headlining a fundraising event called "A Night in Nicaragua".

Absolutely gorgeous video, and first class production values. Really, really impressed. The intro set the stage beautifully, I love the humor - nice piloting Josh, and the outtake at the end on bird-watching was nicely done. Music was amazing and well-mixed with the dialogue.

Might be nice for the article to include links to the various items displayed in the video that went by too quickly to take notes. I wonder if this would be effectively done in an explicit way, i.e. right below the video something saying: links from the video with some bullet points.

Loved this!
