Corn Islands, Nicaragua (Caribbean Sea)


Turquoise blue water, white sand beaches, cool ocean breezes, awsome snorkling and cheap fresh seafood, must be the Caribbean. We splurged a bit and spent a couple of days out on the Corn Islands. They are 2 tiny islands off the Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua.







Big Corn Island from the air. The Islands are inhabitated by people of British West Indies descent so most people on the islandds speak pigin english. Think Jamaica, mon.

We found out by suprise that every Sunday was the local baseball tournament. these boys were fully kitted out in mostly matching uniforms and played with a lot of heart.



The Crowd, probably the best part. During the entire game either reggae or honky-tonk country played (even during pitches) no rock, hip-hop or other type of music. The gentleman who manned the music was kind enough to turn down the volume during pitches.

The beer was cold and the cheapest in town. Anyone who has been to a baseball game knows thats not the norm. A case of COLD beer was raffeled off during the game. We didn't win it.


The Scoreboard was run the old fashioned way by some local kid standing in the sun flipping wood slats as the innings went by. The blank spots are where they ran out of numbers.
