There are some people you are destined to meet and some places you are destined to visit on an odyssey like “Journey to Olympic Golf.” Connie & Ernesto Cantu and the Hostel Ulap Tasica in Matagalpa, Nicaragua made me know that statement to be true. I first heard of them from a tout who helped me at the Guatemala/El Salvador border. From his stories of a couple that was many weeks ahead of me I knew they were someone I wanted to meet along the way and get their story. So I asked for and he gave me their email. As Ernesto says in the video why not meet someone that comes into your life. JTOG is about finding inspiration, the inspiration to be an Olympic Golfer and the inspiration to be good people sharing a little time and space on this Earth with others I think may be the same inspiration. Golf is like life after all. Even if one does not play golf, we all play life.

So I ventured off the main road to Managua to a little town called Matagalpa arriving as the sun set. We simply visited the evening away and upon awakening the next morning headed to the Hostel Ulap Tasica which was nearby. Connie and Ernesto stayed there for 12 nights when they first came to Matagalpa. We went there for breakfast and I could see how it would be hard to leave before lunch a week or two later in one’s life. So here is to the inspiration of Connie & Ernesto Cantu, gosh, I love how you love and love life to its fullest. As Ernesto said “live life until you die.” Always, all the best to you!
