The UC-Davis Connection arrives in Granada

---

I wanted to post some pictures of some friends that had stopped by for a day or two in Granada. We tried to make the best of our short time together by doing some hiking and a ropes course with Jen and a Kayak tour with Cheka. We are grateful for them to make the effort to see us. It was wonderful to reconnect, discuss some old times and create some new memories. We look forward to more visits.

We'll soon post some photos of our adventures with Erica and Al. In the meantime enjoy these ones.

Hiking at Volcan Mombacho
Looking at the map for the hiking trail. Was a nice little loop around the top of a volcano. Had some beautiful views.

Suckers for the view
I couldn't help myself.

Canopy Tour
Suited up!

Flying
The timid look probably comes from my fear of heights.

Jen Flying
Not so timid.

More Canopy Tour Fun
Gotta love sky bridges

International Partiers
We went out with Nicas, Norwegians, North Americans, a Columbian, and an Italian

Sarah rocking out
Here Sarah is listening to the wonders of New York Hip-Hop. As taught by a Norwegian. Who would've thought?

The Norwegians
She said they'd hook us up in Norway. Anybody want to join?

Cathedral in Granada
Old Colonial town bordering the largest lake in Nicaragua, maybe Central America

Pious Sarah
Nicaragua's changed her.

Kayaking in the Isletas
A group of small islands in Lake Cocibolca (Nicaragua). Many are nature preserves others have luxurious vacation homes.

Cheka loving Nicaragua
That's the look of: "I don't want to go back to cold-ass New York"

I'm happy for you and jealous.....,of course!
I have been readming your blog as if I teenager hooked on Hannah Montana! Since you've been gone a while she's the shiet, I mean bigger than Dora the Explora! Cambiando tema, la gente se van aprovechar de tu caridad y el suceso que vos los ves en otra luz, ya sea un renco, una abuelito o un huele pega. Lo importante es que uno aprende y segui adelante! A ver ojala si Dios quiere que nos podamos reunir alla, dale pues prix!
