Orlando seems to like animals. A lot. He owns the bar/restaurant and land of the swimming hole an hour from Yali. He’s raising a funny little Eagle-type bird, which will be off into the wild soon, has numerous dogs and chickens and stories of other strange animals that he’s raised and let out into the forest. He’s also got many plans for his spot of land and his restaurant… organic veg, an energy system using cow pats, solar panels. He’d like to learn English too – he gets quite a few visitors who don’t speak Spanish at all to the swimming hole. Bonnie and I were surprised by this… we’ve not met anyone up here north of Esteli who is being a tourist, much less wants to communicate in English. I’m glad to hear it for his business…perhaps another Nest Trust volunteer in Yali could do a day in San Rafael Maggie Jo?

Have I blinked - who's Bonnie? Much love, Deidre.
Hmmmm. Swimming and hole. I'm not sure those 2 words go well together. Is that you a-swimming therein?
Just got back from a bank holiday weekend of travels to Scotland and Essex, hence the quiet period re blogging - more details of my travels and general work and home gossip in an e-mail to follow tomorrow.
Later dude
