Gioconda Belli- The Country Under My Skin
"The hamlets and villages of Nicaragua are sleep communities where time's passing is barely perceptible. Tiled-roofed houses, with high ceilings, and adobe construction, are packed tightly together and thickly planted parks, with large trees and the ever present old church. Only the center of town qualifies for paving, otherwise it's all dirt roads where pigs and chickens roam, bordered by houses built out of rough-hewn planks with outdoor kitchens, zinc roofs, and children running around barefoot and in rags."
