Camped on a peanut farm in Nicaragua! 🥜🇳🇮 It had quite the views with the two Volcano’s in the backdrop.
Got caught in the dark with no camping spot still, and asked this guy Oscar if I could sleep in one of his fields. He ended up being a guard on a farm.. Although I could tell he wanted to help, he was pretty unsure about it with regards to his ability to make that call on his own.. I asked if we could call his boss and I talked to him. We got the green light to stay there, and not risk Oscar getting in trouble! We hung out with some other guys on the farm swapping stories until it was time for bed..
Oscar then offered if I wanted to sleep in the hammock and I happily said yes as it’s significantly cooler than the tent.
The next morning Oscar took me on a tour of the farm and I got to pull some peanuts out of the ground. Not sure where I thought peanuts came from, but I always imagined them growing above ground for some reason! Pretty cool! Raw and not cooked/roasted they tasted different but still really good!
Thanks Oscar!
