Hungary - Finland - & Nicaragua

I just learned that the closest related language to Hungarian is .....Finnish.  Rick Steves' podcasts have lots of history lite factoids like that.

Also here is the topo map of the island that we want to visit in Nicaragua.
There is great swimming here.  Though before 1979 you would've been eaten by sharks.  That's right.  in the 1970s  Somoza created a factory that systematically killed all the sharks. (fins to China)  They are fresh/salt water Bull Sharks that come up the San Juan river from the Atlantic and are very aggressive and dangerous.  They are pretty much gone now but some say a small number hang out at the lake outlet to the San Juan River.
