Tasbapauni

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tasbapauni is a seacoast hamlet in Nicaragua, forty five miles north of Bluefields.[1] The main ethnic groups are Creole and Miskito.[1]

Local residents have made fortunes reselling cocaine bundles which wash ashore after going overboard from Columbian drug runner speedboats. They have nicknamed the bundles "white lobster."[2]
