So the night it first erupted, our cat (an ex-stray) started yeowling frhantically facing east! We are on the Western side of Leon. She hardly ever makes a noise normally! My daughter said "Maybe she senses an earthquake cats can sense them up to three days in advance!" That night I heard three "rumble-bangs" one woke me up! All the neighbourhood dogs were going mad! Bianca was outside our door yeowling away. I was sure it was earth-tremors but in the morning we heard about the volcano eruption! We marvelled at how clever animals are with such things!

Picos are sold all over the country, there are different types. Some are thinner and crispier while others are thicker and soft. Some put more cheese or sugar and others less. It’s a super common thing to eat in the morning with some good coffee. One of the simple pleasures of life.

You are a. dynamically great detailed and mindful orator.

[@dgaydos]

You forgot to mention verbose. :)

We discovered Wings Lovers too! Our new favourite! Feeds our family of eight for under £30 especially if you order from the blackboard at lunchtime. Eight full meal plates of various chicken dishes each served with with Gallo Pinto, platano, salad etc plus sodas! Unbelievable value!!

[@sl1ker]

The bread is called Picos, they come in a soft or crispy variety and they are shaped like the country. Scott, you should really do a couple of videos on Nicaraguan food! 😋

I’ll take natural risk here over anywhere in the US. Nothing like watching 5 tornadoes coming directly for your house. Then the possibility of the New Madrid Fault which is well over due, and knowing we were down stream from the largest man made lake in the eastern US, a dirt one at that which is no less leaking…. Here our biggest scare was 2-3 years ago when two hurricanes came within 1 week. We live right on the lake. The water was touching the house. Fortunately the overflow system and the secession of rain saved us from being flooded.

Hi Scott, those are called "picos"!!😂 they are loved in Miami too!! and very expensive in the states!! Love your videos! thanks for exposing Nicaragua's good stuff!!!

[@vladrayo]

Solid chat SAM! Helping future expats far and wide! I got a few notes since ive spent so much time in extreme natural disaster/no natural disaster LATAM. 1) pacific hurricanes - the recent hurricane that devastated acapulco RIGHT AFTER i left was actually a bizarre 90° random turn that no meteorologists had predicted. This storm happened in the Mexican pacific which actually has pretty regular hurricanes (mazatlan/puerto vallarta is constantly on altert during hurricane season) 2) natural disasters- there is a LATAM country with literally NO risk of major natural disasters that you mentioned in the video - Brazil.... brasilians always joke that god gave them a country free of all natural disaster problems and thats why there's so much crime there hahah they do have mudslides and whatnot from rain but not from hurricanes/floods. 3) Drills - places like arequipa in peru whete i lived has pretty regular drills (i made a video about an earthquake drill there) and so IF they are an issue then IN GENERAL you'll be trained and informed regularly how to handle them. 4) the fear of earthquakes - a few weeks after i left chile when i finished my semester there studying abroad a MASSIVE earthquake devastated the city. More than 500 people died so i feel that people see these incredibly high risk zones from places like chile/mexico city and feel everywhere else has the same level of danger. Rock on mon freir

[@buddist1210]

Picos are awesome warm.

[@ScottAlanMillerVlog]

good tip

[@victorsmith9506]

The bread is called pico

[@FAELNYC]

They are called PICOS , they are delicious , some of them are more crunchier than other ones , I like the ones that are very fluffy and filled with nice cheese and sugar cinnamon …..ayayay!!!!!!

6:13 Butter makes everything better. Is that volcano that they go sledding. Also was it the volcano which caused Leon to be moved

[@ScottAlanMillerVlog]

Leon moved from Momotomba. People sled on Cerro Negro. Telica is erupting.

[@keithkoledo1166]

Have you ever had Indian Fry Bread? Top it with powder sugar and honey butter. Yum.

[@ScottAlanMillerVlog]

I have! Very good stuff. I used to live around Edison, NJ

[@TiminNicaragua]

I found that cuajada makes a pretty good cheese filling for pasteles.

Hurricane Mitch, 1998, 3800 deaths in Nicaragua. Slow moving hurricane that devastated western Nicaragua as well as the Atlantic coast. Hurricane Iota, 2016, 6 deaths, 62,000 persons sent to shelters, damage mostly in Atlantic Coast, and Triangulo Minero. Hurricanes are real and can cause damage in the Pacific region as well as the Atlantic Coast, however, as Scott correctly stated, the risk is low in the Pacific coast. In 1972, an earthquake struck Managua causing over 5000 deaths, the deaths were principally caused by collapsing structures made of adobe and non antiseismic design buildings. In the year 2000, another earthquake struck Masaya and the Laguna de Apoyo, 7 deaths, 1100 structures damaged, again most injuries and damages caused by inadequate or antiquated construction techniques. In 2014, an earthquake in Nagarote caused 1 death, over 200 injuries, and over 1000 structures damaged. Again mostly affecting older buildings constructed prior to enactment of current building codes. Small indetectable earthquakes occur every day but its certainly not a risk that precludes a visit or living in the country. Over time the risks from natural disasters are being mitigated by stronger building code enforcement in vulnerable areas.

[@charlenemarcia597]

They are called PICO

[@ScottAlanMillerVlog]

Thanks :)

[@Guillermo-ym5yn]

My friend Andy Weber...was the last one on the volcano last night! :) Now relaxing in Poneloya!

[@varel74]

The picos from Diriamba are the best.

[@MatiasDC361]

Does it sounds like thunder

[@ScottAlanMillerVlog]

kinda. less acute. more rumbly

[@scottneighbors7077]

Is there a power outage on Ometepe?

[@ScottAlanMillerVlog]

I've not heard of one. But it's a remote area, if it was a short or minor outage, we'd not likely hear.

[@The1Tonic]

Lol triangle bread looks like a slice of leftover pizza 🍕

[@NICARAGUAFarmstayCoffeeFarm]

These days weather earthquakes floods Volcanos, Tsunamis, one never knows. To say it's impossible for severe damage from a volcano is unrealistic

[@eunicemolina1142]

Picos , but they supposed to be soft and sweets

[@ScottAlanMillerVlog]

They are definitely soft and sweet in this case.

[@patriciaflaherty]

Thank goodness for the USA's tsunami warning system keeping you safe 😁!!

[@personalprojects-xo2tr]

The generic name of the bread is for sure "Pico"

[@TITOKREATIVO]

The bread It's call pico

[@ScottAlanMillerVlog]

Thanks!
