Entry from: Tisay, Esteli, Nicaragua
Entry Title: Tisey
Entry:
Last week I found myself with a persistent sore throat that seemed to get worse with each preceding hour until the next morning I awoke unable to swallow without severe pain and a slowly rising fever. I consulted my mamacita here, Dona Senovia who fed me, made me drink lemon water, something for my fever and I went back to bed. It wasn't until the following day I decided to go to the Health Center; despite all the horror stories I'd heard from other volunteers I was willing to take the chance because Managua and the PC Medical Office seemed just too far away. They diagnosed me with a throat infection and antibiotics were prescribed. Immediately, I was feeling better, but because they didn't give me enough - it came back. So, that's when I decided to call the PC Med office. I was put back on antibiotics but the full dose and course. I'm feeling 100% now, but when you're sick and in bed for various days' optimism goes out the window and dreams of home are all you can think about. Thus, the days following, my morale was really low and I needed something to change my negative state-of-mind. So, on Saturday night at about 7:00 o'clock I said to Maye, who was sitting next to me, You want to go to Tisay tomorrow, I'm inviting you, let's just go tomorrow and we'll stay the night. Maye, my super terrific friend said, Really? Okay, let's go! Tisey was just what Doctor Aimee ordered. Tisey is a Nature Reserve located only 40 minutes from San Isidro. I had heard wonderful things about the place from other volunteers, but nothing prepared me for how much Maye and I enjoyed it. Located in the heart of the Reserve is a Nicaraguan family owned and operated posada (bed & breakfast) that offers very affordable Nicaraguan meals and lodging. Even though the posada is located only 40 minutes away, the temperature change is drastic. I went from profuse sweating to needing a long sleeve shirt and from sleeping with a thin sheet to needing two heavy comforters. That alone was bliss! The first day we just relaxed and walked around the posada checking out the mirador (look out point.) Over dinner, we pondered such light conversation such as: where we came from, apes or the Genesis story before getting to bed early. The next day we awoke early and headed a little bit up the road to a very small, but organized community called Garnacha. A Spanish NGO has been working with this town to establish eco-tourism and a gourmet cheese factory. Yes, you heard me right - a CHEESE FACTORY! Good bye negativism, hello happiness! We got a little tour of the place and were told all about the cheese they sell and I immediately bought a little wheel of GOAT CHEESE to take home! Maye bought a few locally made souvenirs for her Ohio boyfriend and then we took the liberty to walk around the town. We found another mirador and spent a long time just enjoying the view. Around mid-day we headed to checkout some rock sculptures I'd heard about but never imagined it would be so large, well maintained, or interesting. A now 73 year old Alberto Gutierrez has been working for 30 years at carving imagines from Nicaragua's history into the rock faces where he lives. He invents the ideas, carves them, and then adds color to accent each work. It's priceless art at its best. In addition, he has landscaped the paths leading to these rock sculptures with help from the youth in the town. It was simply beautiful and awe inspiring. Maye couldn't stop saying, que bonita! at every turn and thanking me for bringing her here. Unfortunately my camera battery died before I could snap more pictures, but I think I was able to capture a little of its beauty. Defiantly check out the photos otherwise you'll be as clueless as I was before I went.

Canyoning in Somoto Canyon - Nicaragua - Daisy 10 meter jump
Daisy making a 10 meter jump on the Canyoning tour.
The Somoto Canyon, one of oldest rock formations in Central America, has become one of the main attractions of Northern Nicaragua due to its recently discovered tourist potential. It is an impressive site with a unique scenario. Between its walls, visitors can undertake various activities.
Fifteen minutes West from the city of Somoto, capitol of the department of [visit/madriz], tourists will find this amazing geological structure that inhabitants of the area call the structure or Namancambre.
The vertical walls extend for approximately five miles, on a sinuous path whose width varies between 10 and 15 meters. The waters from the Comali River (from Honduras) and Tapacali join to form the extense Coco River. In its bottom, the calmness of the water is interrupted by rocky formations that have created seven or eight small ponds with an environment filled with life, plants and fish.
The cliffs have a hight of 120 and 150 meters. In the narrowest area, they are located five meters away from each other. According to the Nicaraguan Institute of Territorial Studies (INETER), these interesting columns are the result of a geological formation, combined with the erosive action of the water. It is said that it took between 5 to 15 million years to form, a period that belongs to the the Quaternary and Tertiary Miocene.
Even though the place was discovered by Check and Nicaraguan geologists a few years ago (December 2004), the Somoto Canyon was declared a protected area, under the category of National Monument . The interest to visit the area has increased as time passes.
The canyon offers a unique environment in the country. When entering the place by the Solis Valley, which is frequently used, one can observe the panoramas of dry forest with small trees, as well as flora and fauna. Deers, parakeets, rabbits and iguanas are some of the species that inhabit the area.
As you get closer to the riverbeds of the Coco River, the path becomes sandy and one can see the streams that usually limit the access to low clearance vehicles. The topography starts changing until a single, huge wall that announces the beginning of the canyon. Between the small holes of the rock one can see orchids, bromeliads and cactus.

Tourism in Colombia - Best Tourist Attractions
Tourism in Colombia - Best Tourist Attractions
Colombia, officially the Republic of Colombia, is a country largely situated in the northwest of South America, with territories in Central America. Colombia shares a border to the northwest with Panama, to the east with Venezuela and Brazil and to the south with Ecuador and Peru. It shares its maritime limits with Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Jamaica, Haiti and the Dominican Republic. The sovereign state of Colombia is a unitary, constitutional republic comprising thirty-two departments.
Colombia has been inhabited by various indigenous peoples since 12,000 BCE, including the Muisca, Quimbaya, and the Tairona. The Spanish arrived in 1499 and by the mid-16th century conquered and colonized much of the region, establishing the New Kingdom of Granada, with Santafé de Bogotá as its capital. Independence from Spain was achieved in 1819, but by 1830 the Gran Colombia Federation was dissolved, with what is now Colombia and Panama emerged as the Republic of New Granada. The new nation experimented with federalism as the Granadine Confederation (1858), and then the United States of Colombia (1863), before the Republic of Colombia was finally declared in 1886. Panama seceded in 1903. Since the 1960s, the country has suffered from an asymmetric low-intensity armed conflict, which escalated in the 1990s but then decreased from 2005 onward.
Colombia is one of the most ethnically and linguistically diverse countries in the world, with its rich cultural heritage reflecting various European, Middle Eastern, African, and indigenous influences. Its urban centres are mostly located in the highlands of the Andes mountains and the Caribbean coast.
Colombian territory also encompasses Amazon rainforest, tropical grassland and both Caribbean and Pacific coastlines. Subsequently, it is one of the world's 17 megadiverse countries, and the most densely biodiverse of these per square kilometer.
Colombia is a middle power and regional actor in Latin America, with the fourth-largest economy. It is part of the CIVETS group of six leading emerging markets and is a member of the UN, the WTO, the OECD, the OAS, the Pacific Alliance, and other international organizations. Colombia has a diversified economy with macroeconomic stability and favorable growth prospects in the long run.

Griots Republic - Black Travel Profiles - Angel Rich
Creating an algorithm for the stock market to win Goldman Sachs Portfolio Challenge, selling her first marketing plan to Prudential, becoming a founding employee of FINRA, authoring the first ever African American Financial Experience study, inventing the top financial literacy product in the world, and being named the “Next Steve Jobs” by Forbes – all by age 30, Angel Rich has earned the title Wealth Pioneer.
In 2009, Rich became a Global Market Research Analyst for Prudential Financial. While there she conducted over 70 financial behavior studies including the Obama’s Veterans Initiative. During her final year at Prudential, she helped the company’s Annuities division grow from #16 in Service to #4, helping the company save $6 billion.
After leaving, Rich founded The Wealth Factory with a mission to provide equal access to financial literacy across the world. Today her company designs WealthyLife financial literacy education technology games. The online games are supported by financial curriculum, programming, and activities, walking people from birth to retirement in 12 subjects.
The first game released is titled CreditStacker. This match-three game, like Candy Crush, allows users to swap colored pieces representing the 5 major credit types, to pay off debt, achieve a high credit score, and learn from the multiple-choice questions. It has been named the best financial literacy product in the country by The White House, Department of Education, and JP Morgan Chase.
In August 2017, the company launched the full product version of CreditStacker, exceeding 200,000 downloads in 60 countries in 21 languages in two weeks. In fact, each year the Google Top 50 Apps department selects 10 apps they feel are the most promising in the world.
The Wealth Factory’s goal is to transform financial marketing into financial education while reducing poverty, increasing financially savvy citizens, raising financial product ownership and building better financial ecosystems.
In early 2017, Rich also released her first book – The History of the Black Dollar – with the foreword written by Dr. Maya Rockeymoore. The book takes readers on an economic journey through history to depict the major milestones, historic figures, and upcoming leaders.
Later that year, she was honored to be named Hamptonian of the Year and help found the Hampton University Entrepreneurship and Innovation Institute. She is also a proud member of the 2016 HBCU 30 Under 30, Hampton 40 Under 40 and Google Top 30 Black Female Founders.
