Me too, it's fun and good exercise and consistently appreciated content. It's a big win when I can. Once I return (after doing a bunch of walks in Argentina) I will have access to a car a LOT more than ever before and I can, in theory, do walks in a lot more places, a lot more often. I'm really excited about that.
Thanks Scott for showing us all these neighborhoods. Just curious if you have any showing the farther eastern barrios of Leon, like San Antonio, Barrio Ruben Dario, San Jeromino, etc. I know those are much farther away from where you live in Sutiava, but curious whether that's the reason for the relative lack of coverage or if it's a desirability issue or something. I was looking at the topo map of Leon and those areas east of the connector seem to have the highest elevation in Leon, which would contribute to more breeze and airflow. Or would all the air pollution from the trash fires just accumulate there against the hills? As always, thanks for your videos. 😊
Great video! I have a question about staying at your hotel at Las Peñitas. Could you tell me how to get in touch there? I want to surprise my 16 year old daughter and her 17 year old cousin with giving them a trip there from up here in Nueva Segovia to spend a couple days on the ocean. They also want to run up to see UNAN before going next year. But I'm not sure which place is yours.
I don't generally recommend staying at our place. We have a party hostel so it is very rare that my audience here actually wants to stay there on the beach. There ARE a couple more upscale private rooms, but it's really a hostel. Great restaurant, definitely eat there. But I don't know if it is the place to stay. Not actually a lot of hotels on the beach. We need more. Our newer place that's AirBnB and not a hostel is booked out for most of the year (it is pretty small.) But the hostel is the Simple Beach Lodge.
@@ScottAlanMillerVlog Thanks. Yeah, I'm looking for something a bit calmer, so that's good advice. I'm having a bit of a struggle finding a hotel that will let a 16 and 17 year old check in. Any suggestions for a place in Leon that would do that?
Many of your videos are interesting, but others would be more interesting if you interacted with the Nicaraguan people. But thanks for what you're doing.
@@ScottAlanMillerVlog Here's an idea: Get a better camera. How many years have you lived in Nicaragua and other Spanish-speaking countries? I live in Montreal, Quebec and even though Quebec is in Canada the province is officially French-speaking, when non-French speaking immigrants arrive they usually take government-sponsored intensive French courses and usually function well in French within months and are certainly bilingual or trilingual within a year or 2 (many speak some English and their own language). Montreal is unique in that we hear a multitude of languages every day. Learning the language of the country you live in is also a sign of respect and allows you to interact with the people.
@@ScottAlanMillerVlog I use an old-school M.U.L.E. from them that lifts the pack off your back by about 5cm for airflow here in SW Florida. Y’all are still consistently lower temp & humidity than 1,000 miles to your NNE, lol.
hmmm, worth checking out. I DO Like my hydration. And a backpack of sorts would be super useful as I have batteries and stuff. And sometimes I don't film while I go between locations. Got a link to a recommended model?
Very nice. Keep it up and you'll become a Hero of the Barrio, too!
jaja, thanks!
Another excellent video. Great job
Thank you!
We love your walk videos
Thank you!
I love it when you go on walks in Nica!

500 square meters in an área like triste aprox. Cost
I don't really have a guess. Maybe $5000? I assume that you just mean land.

Would help if my Spanish was a lot better. Although honestly EVERY time I stop and interact, my camera dies. I've lost SO many talks with people :(

Ever thought of wearing a CamelBak for your walkabouts? Drybag for camera gear and 3L of hydration while keeping your hands free.
In Nicaragua the problem is that I'd get SO hot. You want all your skin to breath.

@@ScottAlanMillerVlog also has a pullover rain bonnet for the entire bag to stay dry (I’ve been caught in drenches & kept a the iPhone dry.)
