The Nica Times

Posted . [Last updated . ]

I wrote for The Tico Times or rather, it’s Nicaraguan imprint, The Nica Times (now defunct), for six months or so while living in Nicaragua. On my fast-improving college Spanish, I covered a murder trial (the first which brought the FBI to Nicaragua—imperialism at work), anti-government protests, and reforestation projects.
