In Last week, I have so few experiences for the very first time!
Once out of the standard of living, I have in Managua . No internet, no mobile phone reception, no electricity, no toilet, no showers, no sink, no mattress, no firm ground, not a sealed roof, no door. But for a lot of wonderful nature, kindness, hospitality, simplicity!
change 3 times, 8 hours bus ride, then you are in Rodeito, a small village on the border with Honduras. 10 km and it is still in the neighboring country. But there is enough in Nicaragua to explore and experience.
This would I imagine Gerzan Alvarez, a man of about 55 years, a life artist!
Bauer, Pastor, veterinarian, a kind of assistant mayor .... a man for everything! He grew up in Rodeito, there has even founded a family, 2 daughters and 3 sons, all grown up. Some still live in their Geburstsort, others have moved to the closest major city. For life in Rodeito is hard! "La vida es muy dura!" Gerzan told with a wry laugh. But he tried to be as easy as possible to take . He takes pleasure in his work.
Because he knows the importance of his services to the community. He is a pastor in six municipalities, all of which border on Rodeito, due to the bad path but with the bike at least an hour to reach each other. I wanted to accompany Gerzan, but at 40 degrees over rough and smooth with no functioning brakes and the still undigested beans from breakfast in the stomach made me do not deny the way, unfortunately.
I had to back and relax me the rest of the day in the hammock, so overworked I was a half-hour bike ride! For this, I then his wife in one of the other communities out there, accompanied by foot and very memorable conversations with the locals. When you hear that the vast majority of families (all farmers) the Bag (one pound) can provide non beans because the 20 Cordoba (equivalent to around $ 1) can not afford, then you start to have serious, about the distribution of Ge ldes in this world think ...
Rodeito For the people of the region's only hope and joy is in God.
The service, which is carried out with a Bible and a hymn book in a simple mud house, sing it loud and clear "Alabare" (We praise you Lord, thank you!) But not only those meetings, including meetings tierlicher way I had some ! On the outhouse with Kaka sheet, ants, flies and bees, for example ;-) And in my sleeping bag with a scorpion! Yes, it stung me! Yes, it hurt like hell (comparable with a painful bee sting, only 5 times)! Yes, I was afraid that it is very dangerous! And no, it's not very dangerous, as long as one is not allergic and not got very poisonous kind. But I was lucky and after 4 hours my thumb is swollen off again. Gerzan and his wife had the appropriate remedies at hand: the swelling and toothpaste to coffee, so that the tongue does not ignite, which is apparently a frequent side effect.
Now I can say after all, I have survived a scorpion sting ;-) In the evening we sat happily together and we have a sequence of one of the many untold Mexican or English telenovelas viewed. For more recently Alvarez family has a solar cell on the roof so they can at least generate a bit stream. This is then not used for cooking or the like, but about an hour to deflect the problems of rich white ftsmänner injured party and their beautiful women.
Absurd, but of course! But this kind of distraction is thankfully not the highlight of the evening celebration! Anyway, if all neighbors are united to watch TV, can be maintained even after playing a game of cards! And with what joy and what enthusiasm! Pictures say more than words ... But actually I wanted to tell you what I all the 1 Times have seen, apart from the pesky Scorpion ... I am on 1 Time riding! I 1 Time in Nicaragua still immature, so sour, but delicious eating mango! I 1 Views, as honey is squeezed out of honeycombs! I 1 Time a cow being milked! And I have 1 Times felt blocked and nature and enjoyed! On many other occasions! ;-)
