Esteli

Hello every one, please help me
I would like to visit Esteli in January, 2012 for 2 months
I heard the weather is very good there
However, I would like to know more about the following:

Crime in Esteli
A good Dentist for bridge work
A CLEAN and SAFE place to stay
A taxi service from MGA to Esteli similar to PAXEOS from MGA to
Granada. I prefer not to take the bus services
Please give me names, phone #s, e-mail addresses and any other information to help my visit a great success
Thank you for taking the time to reply

Hello. My name is Larry. I have visited Esteli several times, but have forgotten the name and address of the place where I stayed (it was with 2 blocks of the cathedral). If you need the info, post me back; I stilll have a friend there with whom I correspond.

Hi Larry
Thank you very much for your response
Yes, I need all the info I can get
I am very serious and excited about this trip
I have a dentist's name already Dr. Byron Baez
Please have your friend get the info for me
And what do you know about CRIME ?
I know that I have to be concern about my surroundings
and be alert. Not to take any chances
But a headsup on crime will be greatly appreciated

Leonora:

I will ask my friend to contact the place where I stayed and then I'll pass it along to you.

I spent a number of weeks there, and on at least 2 occasions was out  late with him. I saw no  evidence of crime, although I did not go into a part of town that I was warned about (across the river).

There had been a murder 2 years before I got there, but the talk was that the American had made a pass at a girl; that was the talk; I cannot vouch for the  truth.

More info later.

Thanks Larry
I am 67 years old, in very good health
For the past 35 years, I have not visited a bar nor club
If the sun doesnot shine, I am indoors
I was thinking of Granada, but I heard it's too much EXPATS
And I think that will attract more crime
Maybe if this works out ok, then I may think of relocation

My friend told me within the last 2 hours that it is raining cats and dogs in Esteli, and the river is super-high.

My email address is [email protected].

Am 73; live just south of Portland, Oregon.

My friend has not yet replied to my request, but I am  aware of another place in the same neighborhood, owned by a lady from England; also has a cafe.

My friend was a guide for me ... we took a 'chicken' bus to the Atlantic coast.
