More Stereotypes

The people of Nicaragua do not work as hard as those in Guatemala. The people of Nicaragua are healthier and richer than those in Guatemala. Guatemalans eat more bread than thos e in Nicaragua.

Again, I do not know how many are true.

The ´healthier´has to do with the number of bikes i see on the street here when compared to Xela. I think that may have to do with the better weather and the better (and flatter) roads.

It may not be fair to compare Xela with Granada, as they are towns of different sizes and different climates and different peoples, but I throw out my first impressions to see what sticks. I doubt i will be here long enough to see what is left on the wall.

Tomorrow, or someday soon, I will be off to Costa Rica.
