The third running of Ultramaratón Fuego y Agua, which includes 100 km, 50 km, and 25 km trail races, will take place February 18, 2012 after a one-year hiatus. Fuego Y Agua is a not-for-profit race and, as in previous years, the proceeds will benefit the mission of Natural Doctors International, a NGO dedicated to providing medical care for the residents of La Isla de Ometepe. A portion of the proceeds will also finance the Calzado 5k race, held the day after the race for the children of Ometepe, to promote health and fitness.
English-language rags have come and gone in Nicaragua. I used to write a column for the Nica News in the late 1990s, a monthly lifestyle paper out of Managua. Then there was the Tico Times's Nicaragua edition, edited by Granada-based correspondent Tim Rogers (in between his hard-hitting political pieces in TIME, Christian Science Monitor, and other major publications). Now Tim and friends have launched The Nicaragua Dispatch "to expand readers’ understanding of Nicaragua with original reporting, while stimulating online discussion and debate with a free exchange of opinions and ideas from those who live here and know the country best." They promise to cover breaking news, politics, human-interest features, business & travel, and exclusive interviews with leading newsmakers. Here's the newest link on my bookmark bar, a must for any Nicaphile: The Nicaragua Dispatch.

The article is actually a slide show of photos I took last year, with the help of my compañeros Rodney y Hector. I’m proud to say that even though the piece is only a few hundred words, I managed to work in the word “tranquilo.”
Bárbaro, mentioned in the article, is one of my favorite new restaurants in Nicaragua — definitely a Top-Pick in our book Moon Nicaragua.
One of our more interesting sidebar topics in Moon Nicaragua is CAFTA (we called it, "CAFTA: Boon or Bugbear." Nicaraguans typically railed against it. But new stats show Nicaragua has benefitted from CAFTA more than any other Central American nation. The article is at the Miami Herald (read on).
One of Nicaragua's most interesting legacies, though not its most enduring, is the panoply of murals painted during the 1980s. They accompanied Nicaraguan poets in an explosion of pride and inspiration, depicting Nicaragua's glorious new chapter.
And now after many years of neglect, some of them are getting a face lift. Read on.
An interesting article just posted to the Christian Science Monitor puts some perspective on Nicaragua's surprising economic growth rate of 4.5%: it is largely due to the $1.6B in loans provided by Hugo Chavez and put directly at the disposal of Daniel Ortega. Read on for a few more surprises.
