Nicaragua February 17 AM

The hotel in Jinotega is kinda bad.  There is a very narrow 

staircase to our rooms that has nothing on either side but a 

rickety handrail.  The room is for three but is not really big 

enough for three songle beds.  The shower and commode and sink 

are in enough space that you could not go to the bathroom while

someone is showering or you would get just as wet.  The shower 

was very very cold.  This room did not have bugs ( I checked) 

but is by far the worst accomodations I have stayed in short 

of actual camping.  All night long the roosters crowed and the 

dogs barked.  In Esteli they had a city wide alarm clock at 6am.  

Literally a big siren would go off for thirty seconds.  In Jinotega

the roosters just crow louder and louder until at last at daylight 

they stop.
