Casa Silas offers you a very comfortable Queen size bed and ensuite bathroom with hot shower. Our rooms are equipped with air-conditioning and ceiling fans, and also feature skylights for a gentle wake up call from the Nicaraguan sunrise and the parrots outside your window.
The rooms look out upon the courtyard garden and swimming pool. Your most difficult decision at Casa Silas will be whether to have a morning dip in the pool before or after coffee. In addition to coffee we also offer a selection of fresh, local fruits, jams, pastries and heartier breakfast fare to start your morning of exploring. We also offer nightly turn down service, mini bar, complimentary high speed internet, and VoIP free telephone calls to the US, Canada and Mexico. Laundry service is available.
Full concierge services are also available, including airport shuttle, car rentals, or Spanish lessons. Of course, we would be happy to help you arrange a walking tour of the city, a boat cruise of Las Isletas or if you prefer to explore on your own, we can arrange for a driver to take you to Volcano Mombacho or Volcano Masaya. There are also the artisan markets of Masaya or the pottery cooperatives of San Juan de Oriente. You won't want to go home empty-handed. We'll see you soon.

José Santos Reyes | My Song To Somoza
From the blog of Martha Solano. Follow the link above to see the whole poem.
I'll not translate it but, the story of the covert message is interesting.
A poem for Somoza?
Reviewing files I came across this gem: "My Song To Somoza," a poem published in a card in honor of Rigoberto Lopez Perez. What a contradiction. I opened the invitation to see what was said about Rigoberto Lopez Perez, the poet who killed Anastasio Somoza García, 21 September 1956 and met with surprise that "My Song To Somosa" was not really a song for the dictator, but rather a poem as an acrostic to honor the courage of the poet from Leon that ended the life of the father of the Somoza dynasty.

On turning the page I found a note that clarifies how the emergence of the "song" Somoza. The poet José Santos Reyes had participated in a poetry contest in honor of Anastasio Somoza for yet another anniversary of his death. As you can see, if you read the verses without stopping in capital letters, since it seems nothing but a poem that celebrates the "heroic" dictator. So shocking. However, the poet Santos Reyes mocked the jury who failed to "discover" that it was an acrostic in honor of Rigoberto Lopez Perez and not a "song to" the tyrant.
