Since I happen to have been in Nicaragua for the past week and happen to have spied some mermaids, since everyone everywhere loves them some mermaids as we all well know, I thought I would generously share some with you.
Here is a very elegant mermaid avenue in Granada.
Here is a mermaidly bathroom sign on the ferry from Rivas to Ometepe.
And here is a painting on the side of a little schoolhouse where 200 children study in a tiny tiny village on Ometepe. Mermaids are very good at math.
The end.

My name is CAROLYN TURGEON. I'm a well coiffed world famous authoress and wrote the novel MERMAID (which came out in March 2011, and might possibly be a movie), which makes me a mermaid expert. (My newest novel, THE FAIREST OF THEM ALL, which is about Rapunzel growing up to be Snow White's stepmother, comes out in August 2013 from Simon & Schuster; you should obviously pre-order it now or else feel mysteriously and eternally unfulfilled.)
It has been my duty to create this blog so that you too can learn about the world of mermaids, in all its wondrous and manifold forms. Whether you know it or not, there's a deep hole in your heart where this knowledge should be, so I shall do my best to fill it with mermaid lore (and love).
If you're a mermaid or have any secret mermaid knowledge to pass on (or just a photo or a story or a drawing your kid made), please email me at carolynturgeon at gmail dot com.
In the meantime, please remember: just because you're half a fish doesn't mean you have half a heart.
Total day-maker! Thanks so much for posting
