An August 2005 trip to San Juan del Sur by amoeba

Lovely San Juan del Sur in southwest Nicaragua is a great place to spend a week!

This hostel is run by an extremely friendly man who always has a learning-to-speak-English book in his hand. Rooms are extremely clean and cheap, at about $12 US per night. There is a great courtyard for reading or eating, and the hostel is right next to the market. Perhaps the only drawback is that this place is LOUD at night, due to the fact that it sounds as though Old MacDonald's farm is behind it, and at night birds, pigs, and other creatures all vocalize.

Attraction | "Karaoke Night"

This is a very fun event on Friday nights! Supposedly, it starts at about 9pm, but a local friend assured me that it's not cool to show up before 9:30 or 10pm. And be sure to stay until late, as things might only get fun at around midnight. This karaoke is licensed in what appears to be a community center. A mix of Latin and American music is played and sung.
