Off to Nicaragua

I’m taking the red eye to Managua tonight… actually, make that Houston, where I’ll be stuck for 3 hours between flights. (But that’s OK — I downloaded a whole season of Lost to watch while I wait.) From Managua, I’ll head north to Esteli, where the Cup of Excellence will take place.

I’m totally stoked to attend my first Cup of Excellence. I’ll be an observer. This is a super special CoE because it’s the 50th one! Because of this, the jury includes a lot of all-stars. I think it’s going to be a really special week.

I’m mainly going to work on a big article about CoE we’ll have coming out soon, but I’ll still blog and post photos from the event here on Pasteboard, so be sure to check back often!

  1. wow what and honour to be there Sarah, I look forward to reading all about it!

  2. Have a safe trip Sarah! And enjoy the outstanding coffees that will surely be there. Make sure to take lots of pictures of the All Stars Cuppers just as they are slurping – it’d look great on the cover of a magazine 😉
