Our bus journey from Granada to San Juan del Sur treated us to police check points, rolling country side, and the first sun we had seen in days! After rain and clouds in Granada it was nice to have some good weather.
Our first evening we enjoyed a delicious dinner on the ocean of fresh sea food and some cheap beer. We played trivia at a local American bar where we met two fellow Boilermakers! (Can you believe it?! Here we are traveling the world just to run into folks from Lafayette.). The winners of trivia got a bottle of rum, and were nice enough to share some shots with us. We also checked out an open mic night at a local hostel which was a lot of fun.
Day 3 in SJDS involved hiking to the top of a lookout point - a very steep climb that was not marked but friendly folks along the way helped us out. The views and breeze at the top made it well worth it. A smaller version of a "Christ the Redeemer" statue also was at the top which was cool to check out.
Our afternoon was spent lazily sitting on the beach and cooling off in the ocean. We turned from white to red pretty quickly and spent the rest of the afternoon in the shade enjoying fresh mojitos. We met another couple on the beach and enjoyed our afternoon with them before meeting up for dinner. Another course of delicious lobster tail for cheap and great sangria.
Oh, and our hostel is right next to the water too (across the street from the beach) for $10/night. Rough life we know, but someone's got to live it! Today we are heading to Isla de Ometepe and if the weather holds will try to climb a volcano!
¡Chao!
