I miss playing a little soccer with a small plastic ball right on the street, I also miss playing basket ball every afternoon, and riding my bycicle and seing the kids with their boards (monopatin). And I still miss my miss-mamacita linda

I thought it'd already been established that I was. And I meant what city/neighbourhood in Nicaragua. As it turns out, though, I'm more Honduran (sp?) in blood than anything. Scarborough is weird. I lived there for a bit too, and we hardly talked to anybody.
Actually was born here...so I wouldn't know would I?
But when I went to visit Nicaragua the whole neigborhood is so laid back and friendly. People here don't even talk to there neighbors for some f@cked reason..Personally myself I talk to everyone.
What city/neighbourhood is that? I lived everywhere in Nicaragua. And when I say everywhere, I mean everywhere. My mother seemed to have joined the circus 'cause we moved so much. You know what I miss the most? Lazy afternoons after school, coming back home, sweating, hungry; devouring my lunch and listening to Pancho Madrigal. Actually, I miss that but that's not what I miss the most. There's a lot I miss, but the list is too long.

This is not something I miss doing but it's a familiar sound that I miss: el velador. When I was a kid, I used to be afraid of the whistle but it was soothing afterwards.

We call them cucurucho aswell. Nice.
BUt what i really miss is the young fresh,sweet, innocent look of young women back home. Especially those Tecleñas. I remember love back home as much sweeter, more romantic, very cheesy sometimes; and yet so delicious.

Health, would be my guess... how much does a guy selling chorizo sandwiches make a night?
Some food is sold... theres a type of 'cucurucho' that's typical of Madrid which you can buy on the street, and you can find people selling gum or chips and the like, but you need a license for anything that can spoil.

Mmmmm yes, for sure. Street food! Yu-mmy. Los tacos al pastor, los tacos de tripa, las tortas ahogadas, las hamburguesas de la esquina, los tamales, el atole... :drooling:
The weather, the fact that it doesn't take 2 thousand years to get from point A to point B; eveything is pretty much walking distance. Hmm... what else? Well, mainly I miss the good, cheap street food.
