Rico Casts in the Pacific

Wednesday we got up really early and walked from the Rancho to the end of the beach where the Padre Ramos Reserve starts. Rich took his fishing pole but didn't get much interest from the fish. The Rancho dog "Curly" followed us there for the hour walk but then disappeared at the fishing community at the entrance to the preserve. We walked back without him and had some coffee and breakfast. The owner is not too concerned about the dog and if he isn't back by 2 pm we will drive to the point to see if we can find him. He is a big dog and he challenges all other dogs and we hope that nothing bad happened to him. The owners claim he has ADD and forgets what he is doing if he sees ... read more

Back of the Bus

Rich and I were enjoying our time at the Mariposa. There the weather was the coolest I experienced in most of Nicaragua. The Ecolodge is in the hills to the northeast of the Masaya Volcano surrounded by trees planted by the owner. We had very little rain while we were there and only several hours of Spanish Lessons. Our instructor was having some serious high blood pressure problems and most of my time was spent trying to discuss this in Spanish. He got some work out of his time with Rich while they went over the uses of SER and ESTAR. My conversation instructor was much harder on me and made me work through flashcards for various verbs and difference tenses and different forms that verbs can be changed into (gerunds and past participles). At ... read more

On the way to Jesus- Tegucigalpa

thepharleyboy

Hey Everyone, I know it has been a long time since I have posted anything. The internet has been really unreliable lately, and I have been keeping really busy. My trip over Christmas was awesome. We went through Honduras to the Capital of Tegucigalpa and then to Nicaragua. All on buses, and no nice, expensive buses. Tegucigalpa was really nice we stayed there for three nights( we only wanted to stay two, but missed the bus one day). The city is in the mountains so everything is built on hills. There is not really any flat ground. We hiked to the Jesus statue on top of the mountain. You will see this in pictures. The day we traveled to Nicaraqgua was crazy. I will never complain about traveling again after this day. When we left to ... read more
