More from House Hunters International

Below are some comments and photos from Ross Talner



from the recent House Hunters International episode shot in Popoyo.

We spent 4 incredible days with the film crew on 2 separate trips to Nicaragua to film the show. One day was spent filming at each Rancho Santana (http://www.ranchosantana.com), Hacienda Iguana (http://www.haciendaiguana.com) and two days at Popoyo at the office (http://www.c21popoyo.com), El Toro (http://www.torosurfnicaragua.com) as well as one of the homes.









We ate huge shrimp (4 count, see pic) at a the Century 21 office in Popoyo cooked by Doña Delma who was the personal chef for Somoza for 11 years in the US. Diego, from El Toro and I got fun waves together at the beach break several times with no crowds and always offshore winds. We had cocktails at Rancho Santana right on the break next to their pool as we watched the beautiful sunset over the ocean. We had a great time showing the film crew around and the life we live in Popoyo. We ate, laughed a lot and did many retakes together.

The film crew finally went with Gaspar,



our star Nicaraguan agent to Granada (the oldest colonial city in the Americas) and spent a day relaxing after the shoot. We had a great time and I hope you enjoy the show.

It is airing Sunday Jan 18th @ 9:30PM EST/PST. However, make sure to

http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/program_guide often where you can search by episode
number.

Feel free to send this out to anyone that may be interested in watching.

We hope to see you in Nicaragua soon. We are keeping extremely busy as the we have found that the world economy is inversely related to Nicaragua RE. This is due to the reasonable prices and a down market means many people have cash that they want to invest in a reasonable place!!!

Be Well.
