By the next year, she and Morgan Smith were organizing study trips to Nicaragua for small groups of U.S. travelers. Though the primary focus of these trips has always been Granada, they also have visited Esteli, Leon, the Selva Negra coffee plantation, and other areas in the country as part of their tours. Susan finds subject matter on every street corner and down every dirt road, but she especially enjoys the openness and accessibility of the Nicaraguan people.
