In Toronto time it does not get completely dark until quite late and even then the streetlights are on. Here the smaller towns are pitch black by 630pm.The merchants were closing up by the time my bus dropped me off but I still managed to stuff myself with bread. From what I can tell Nicaraguan http://www.travelblog.org//Central-America-Caribbean/Nicaragua/Masaya/Mercado-National-ds-Artesanias/blog-244625.html B is a new travler I've been hanging with he just finished working in the Peace Corp for 2 years in the Oso Pennesila in C.R. He and I travled to Masaya market to buy some art work. I found a stunning painting of a Nica girl gripping onto Barbed wire with the Volcano in the background I felt the artist wanted to depict entrapment and limited exhistance lack of freedom to move forward and too far http://www.travelblog.org//Central-America-Caribbean/Nicaragua/Masaya/Mercado-National-ds-Artesanias/blog-7356.html
