While some pigs like to take the mototaxis, this pig from El Realejo had a larger budget…and thus was going to travel by taxi.

I was interested in eating here at GHOP (Camino del Oriente, Managua) cause it looked so much like my favorite International House of Pancakes (IHOP) there in the good ol’ USA. Judging from the menu and the place mats, George’s House of Pancakes must have a former IHOP employee as entrepreneur. It is a copy down to the dots on the ‘i’s and the crosses on the ‘t’s. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same about the food. It seemed as if they were still working out the bugs. Coffee had a decent flavor but also had some grease on top of it. Pancakes were a little too laden with sodium bicarbonate. The sausage links were good but the hash-browns were grocery store quality and the eggs were…well a little too poached. It is a good idea but falls short, unfortunately. I give this restaurant 6 months or less in the cruel food world of Managua.

These flowers are planted this time of year in El Comején, Masaya because of their traditional use in Nicaragua on All Saint’s Day. They are cut and bound and sold to families who are looking for flowers to decorate the tombs of their loved ones. Wikipedia says the following: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celosia_cristata
