Professional baseball in Esteli. Each main city in Nicaragua has a team. Games are played Friday thru Sunday, with double headers on Sunday. The players have jobs during the week day! Notice the free seats in the outfield trees.

I discovered the best cake I've ever had at a Cuban restaurant in Esteli, Nicaragua. This cake was so good, I bought several over the month I was there working!! Custard, chocolate, coconut, and some kind of white icing that was to die for.
When we weren't working 12 hour days, there was still time to monkey around at our factory in Nicaragua.
