Hola!!! Mi nombre es Stephanie, soy de Montevideo, Uruguay. Tengo una amiga Nicaragüence, acá en mi país. Ella nació en Estelí, quiere reecontrarse con su familia, y si mal no recuerda la finca en la que vivió se llama La Virgen! Yo quisiera pedirles la dirección del lugar para poder enviarles una carta. Desde ya muchas gracias y espero su pronta respuesta.
