Rolf Potts, a travel writer I admire, has just published the first in a series of articles about his exploits in Central America. Check out his inaugural dispatch from Granada, Nicaragua; Slate will continue to publish his thoughts as he makes his way, as part of the Drive Around the World expedition, toward Argentina.

(Side note: you may remember that a few months ago Rolf was kind enough to link to my article entitled “How and Why I Moved to Ecuador.” His excellent book “Vagabonding: An Uncommon Guide to the Art of Long-Term World Travel.” is one I recommend wholeheartedly.)

Safe travels, Rolf, and keep the stories comin’.
