THE PHOTOS HAVE BEEN POSTED FOR THE JUNGLE CANOPY AND FOR LAKE YOJOA..
The last two days have been spent in Danli, Honduras and in Eleni Nicauragua. This is the principal Tobacco growing and Cigar Manufacturing Area for both Countries. Un fortunately I pulled into Danli on a friday evening. all the factories and farms were closed for he week-end. I stayed in Danli two nights for a rest stop. Had Yota washed, got a haircut, got laundry done, but couldn't find any cigars worth buying. The good ones were expensive and the el cheapos weren't worth having. I didn't get to see a factory except for peeking over a wall.
Tomorrow (Monday) I will try again in Esteli. I've picked out two factory/farms I want to visit. La Communa, and Drew Estates. Let's see what happens. From there it will be on to Granada, a (I've been told) upscale kind of town just south of Managua, the capital. I plan to take a boat ride from there on Lake Nicaragua, biggest lake in Central America, and supposed to be quite nice.
