FINCA PACIENCIA ,(PATIENCE FARM) DIRIOMO, NICARAGUA OASIS

 

 

Dear Nica Oasis Reader, 

 

Today I want to tell you how I came up with these names. 3 years ago during my search for a place to relax and to provide retirement income, after receiving a few rejections ( high prices, bad titles, not easily accessible, etc.) my lawyer told me to be patient and he will find me property that I will be happy with. After 2 1/2 years he certainly delivered on his promise. I called the farm (FINCA PACIENCIA) patience is also the fruit of the spirit and in the parable of the seed (The word of God) we learned in Luke 8:15 we will bear fruit with patience.

 

Diriomo is a municipality in the Granada department of Nicaragua. The population is approximately 10,000 and it's located on a plateau near the Mombacho volcano. Diriomo is located 22 miles from Managua and 7 miles from the business center of Granada

 

 

 

3 months ago during the dry season in Nicaragua, my farm manager wrote to me, Don E. His message was that the well water is delivering a lot of water in spite that in April everything is typically dry with the wells and small rivers. He said my well water has an abundant source of water. It is an oasis that God had given to me. These words are the reason why I named this blog Nica Oasis.

 

 

 

Until my next blog, Hasta luego.

Nicaragua Facts

Here is a little background on Nicaragua. It is the largest country of Central America, covering an area of 50,464 square miles. The capital, Managua is only two and a half (2 1/2) hours by air from Miami and Houston. The country is bordered by Costa Rica on the south and Honduras to the north, with the balmy Caribbean sea to to the east. It is a warm land of lakes, mountains, rivers, volcanoes, sea, and sun.

SOCIETY AND LANGUAGE

The population of Nicaragua is approximately 6 million inhabitants. 76% of the Nicaraguans are Mestizo (population of mixed indigenous - Eurpoean ancestry); approximately 10% are European (white), 3% indigeneous and 11% creole (which in Nicaragua is a termed used for an English speaking person of African or mixed African and indigenous ancestry). Spanish is the official language of Nicaragua. It is spoken by about 90% of the country's population. The black population of the east coast region has English as its first language. Several indigenous people of the east also still use their native languages. It is the heart of Central America, neatly tucked between two oceans, where you can enjoy the natural and cultural variety of the country, blend well with hospitality of its people, and a history that thrills and inspires. This is a land of great cultural richness, multi ethnic and multilingual background and all of this makes Nicaragua a unique and exceptional land to visit.

Welcome to Nica Oasis

Dear Nica Oasis Reader,

Welcome to the first issue of the Oasis. Taking your life offshore is a new concept for most Americans and Canadians but much of the rest of the world has long embraced these kinds of options and life style. Nica Oasis will  be devoted to organic farming, sustainable living, real estate, and the arts & crafts of Nicaragua. Our base is in Diriomo Granada, Nicaragua where we own and operate a small farm of 14 acres. Additional information will come later. In the meantime, this picture is a view of the Mombacho Volcano taken from the farm.

Thanks for stopping by.
