So what does it mean exactly when the Wall Street Journal is talking up Nicaragua? Is it kind of like when you were a teenager and the second your parents had heard of your favorite band you instantly thought that band wasn’t cool anymore? (See, in this extended metaphor the WSJ is your parents ’cause, yeah, you get it.) Since my mother does in fact read this, and in deference to her, I’m going to say Nicaragua’s still cool, even though the stodgy old WSJ’s gotten wind of it.<\/p>\n
As they point out<\/a>, Nicaragua’s Little Corn Island — located in the Caribbean, 70 km off the southern part of the country<\/a> and 15 km north of the more-developed Big Corn Island — is a haven for diving (Jon also mentioned this here last week<\/a>) including several ship wrecks and the remains of a Spanish galleon, as well as underwater caves and great reef diving (in fact it’s part of the same reef<\/a> that begins north in Belize).<\/p>\n
