Some Nica Things

Volcanoes
There are many countries around the world that have volcanoes, and Central America is full of them, but I believe Nicaragua has the best selection. This country has nineteen active and dormant volcanoes that I enjoy seeing as I go to the movie theater on the other side of town or as I travel to other parts of the country.

Nicaragua is known as the land of lakes and volcanoes. 
Quesillos
If you need a delicious and unhealthy snack, quesillos are the way to go. They are made with cheese, vinegar, cream, and onions. Then it is wrapped in a corn tortilla and stuffed in a little bag.

You can eat the quesillo a couple of ways. The first way is to push the quesillo up out of the bag and eat it like a burrito. This will leave a whole lot of juice and cream in the bottom of the bag. You must bite a hole in the corner of the bag and drink it.  The other way is to tie the bag, bite a hole in the corner, and push the cheesy contents out right into your mouth. Either way is acceptable and possibly messy. Under no circumstances are you allowed to throw away the cream at the bottom of the bag.
Quesillos can be found at little stands on the side of the road or at smaller restaurant type places if you want to sit down and enjoy the cheesy deliciousness.

We obviously love the cheesy goodness.
