The image of a happy and heavy woman attracted me in a park at Managua, Nicaragua and I was informed that it was sign of prosperity and happiness. I wonder now at this modern age do people of Nicaragua still believe that way! May be not 'cause I see many young girls slim and in tight jeans walking around in the Mall as well as in the streets.
Another thing I shall never forget the dark clouds and  sudden down pour of rains with nerve breaking thunder. Then next day it was clear sky and by afternoon or night the same thunder coming back.
 It was always a pleasure to walk around watching the old colonial style landscape of the city.. .
