Holidays in Central America

And our journey continued...

San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua



We made our way to the Pacific shores, where we were greeted by the ocean waves and the pitcturesque scenery, such as this, surrounded us.  San Juan del Sur, a laid back surfing community full of life and charm, and a little taco stand we couldn't get enough of. We stayed in a hostal just up the road from the shore, the open air showers were bamboo and cobblestone and most refreshing after a day in the sun and sand.

We met a gentleman named Norway along the road, owner of "Red Beard Rentals," (hence his red beard). Unafraid of adventure, he left his home and family behind in Oregon to start up a moped rental business here, in Nicaragua.  We rented one of his bikes for the day to cruise around town and to the beaches.

Delicious chicken curry in a melon bowl. Fresh watermelon juice-our absolute favorite thing.



It was so nice having the moped to scoot around on because we were able to reach some of the more secluded beaches in the area.






And on that note, we'll leave you for now.

Up next, we hit the road for the border!
