Tengo interés, después de esto para conocer más a cerca de Nicaragua. No he sido más sur de Guatemala en 1984, y he sido pensando de recién sobre viajando –– no sé donde, … México, Guatemala, … tal vez Nicaragua después de escuchando esto. Costa Rica, para mí, tiene el aspecto de ser "usado", o como se dice "gringoized" –– ¿gringoizada? Muchas gracias por la entrevista; la disfruté mucho.

I posted a video on el palo de mayo. this one is more PG-rated than ones that I have seen in Nica, but it gives you an idea of what I mentioned.

rcuadra Gracias Ruy for coming to our studio. It was great to have you! We learned so much from Nicaragua. One more question what is the best beach in Nicaragua, or one of the best?

Gracias por el video. You're right, I think it'd be funny (but interesting still) if someone danced this in a club.

Hi pussycat,

I checked all the dowload links and the flash player; they all seem to be working correctly for me.  If you're using Firefox, try closing it and opening it again.  Let me know how it works!  :)

Hola JP,

Thank you, I have just come back to this lesson and all appears to be o.k. now.

Hola rcuadro,

Muchas gracias por el video.  ¡Qué un baile!  Tan lleno de felicidad y color.  Estuve interesante a ver que las bailarinas están descalzo.
