El Macho

In our constant quest to find delicious food as we travel, Julie and I found ourselves at ViaVia cafe in Leon Nicaragua. As we perused our options for breakfast, we were surprised at the breakfast item "Macho." For only 15 cordobas (22 cordobas=$1), you can order up a cup of black coffee, a shot of rum and a cigarette. What a deal! While we were not bad ass enough to order this menu item for breakfast, we returned later that night. When the waitress came over we casually ordered two Machos. She looked at us in shock. Apparently she had never seen women order the Macho. Then she told us that she liked our style calling us "bandidas/bandits" (but the feminine form of the word). Check out the pictures. I am not a coffee drinker or a cigarette smoker, you can see the fear on my face. But we had already been called bandidas, so who was I not to go for it?
