Speaking of mail, Ras sent me a present from Nicaragua - a handmade "hamaca," or hammock. 3 or 4 days before I left Costa Rica, I had talked of wanting to get one. I seriously considered buying one in Montezuma, C.R., but didn’t want to carry it around with me. I finally accepted the fact that I’d have to pick one up at Pier One for four times the amount it would cost me in Central America.
The package was HUGE, and looked like a wrapped up, disposed body on CSI. He bought it for me in a market in Masaya, Nicaragua - famous for hammocks, among other things. What I really liked about this type of hammock, is that there’s a bar at the top and bottom to feed the fabric, so that the hammock doesn’t eat you alive when you’re laying in it. I can’t wait until it’s warm until so I can use this.
