Las Isletas (Little Islands)

---

After zipping through the jungle all morning, it was back to the Casa for lunch. Then we rendezvous'd with Salvador at the square for our postponed coach ride down to the lake. This being our second ride, he let Benjamin sit up front and help drive the two gentle, well-trained horses. Once at the lake, we all (Salvador included) got in the boat operated by another guy for the maritime tour.

Las Isletas are dozens of very small islands, most about half an acre to a couple of acres, very close together. They're privately owned with electricity and vacation homes for rich folks of both Nica and gringo flavors. So this is like the boat version of a bus tour of Beverly Hills. One island has no vacation homes but monkeys live there. I guess they can't swim over to bother the neighbors.

Back at Casa Don Carlos tonight, more hearts.
