Greetings to all friends and relatives following this blog!
As the Bonner scholars travel today, many of you may be wondering about Nicaragua. Below you will find three links that will give some insight into what they are about to experience.
First, you can review a brief history of Nicaragua, written for a general audience, at the Lonely Planet website: http://www.lonelyplanet.com/nicaragua/history
Next you can review the U.S. State Department's Nicaragua information page. Don't be alarmed at this website's focus on safety and security issues-- Nicaragua is safer than most other Latin American countries and many cities in the US. However, the State Department's information is designed to protect U.S. citizens abroad: http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_985.html
Finally, you can keep up with current events in Nicaragua by reading Nicaraguan newspapers on-line. Several from this source are electronically published in English: http://www.onlinenewspapers.com/nicaragu.htm
Warmest Regards,
Diane Bates
