Sunset in San Juan del Sur
So many different colors... Hello Everyone,
We are in San Juan del Sur right now which is a small beach town on the pacific coast of Nicaragua. We are having a great time and were supposed to leave today but decided to stay because we canĀ“t bring ourselves to leave. Hopefully we will be able to move on tomorrow because we are running out of time and want to see as much as we can. Lucas and our friend Scott have been surfing everyday on a local beach called Maderas while Lindsay sits on the beach and counts the grains of sand. The beach is extremely beautiful and it is very isolated and hard to get to. We have to ride for about 45mins in a truck bed that is jam packed with other people. Every now and then the truck has to stop in the middle of the dirt road because either it broke down or there is a cow in the way. The locals of Nicaragua are very nice people and we have enjoyed hanging out with them. Next, we are planning to go to the Island of Ometepe and hike one of the two volcanoes. The island is in the middle of
Lake Nicaragua which is the biggest lake we have ever seen (it actually has waves and supposedly sharks). Before we left Granada, we went kayaking in Lake Nicaragua with Scott and it was very really fun. Our kayaks did not have holes for the water to go out of the bottom, so we were basically paddling around the lake in a bath tub. We also climbed a bell tower in a church and the stairs to get there were really narrow and scary. We were convinced that is where they must have filmed the movie Vertigo. Last night we went out onto the beach of san jaun and watched the sunset. It had amazing colors because the ocean and lake Nicaragua reflect off each other into the sky during the sunset. The sky was actually purple at one point, it was really cool. Well that is all we have to report for now. We hope that everyone is not too upset that they are back at work or school. We have posted pictures of Granada and San Juan del Sur.

random notes from a dazed and overwhelmed person
I didn't recognize Lucas at first with the kitten! It snowed today, Lincoln had a late start, yippeeeee! Chad comes home from school everyday and reads me his writing homework, I live with a genius! Can sharks live in an enclosed body of water? Have fun and enjoy every day!!!
