Nicaragua

Finally, we don't have people over for dinner tonight so I am able to add some pictures from Nicaragua. It was a great trip. Now, I guess its time to plan the next adventure. I think we are heading to Acadia with Caera and Adam during the summer and then I am looking into another mountain biking trip because last years trip to Moab UT was so much fun. I am having trouble deciding between Oregon, Colorado, or back to the desert. I added a link to the tour company. They have great trips and some cool videos as well. Makes me hate the winter a little bit.

Without further ado, Nicaragua...

Lael on a zip line. I believe this one was 400 meters long and about 50 feet off of the ground. Sorry about having two different systems of measurement. I am forced to use the facts I am given!















Petroglyph (approximately 1200 years old) on the island of Ometepe. What was interesting was that we saw them on someone's private property. They charge a fee for you to see them. Historical, yes, but I was not all that exited about the carved rocks.















A Howler Monkey. We saw five or so of them. One was a momma and had the baby on her back. The funny thing is that apparently we were lucky they were in a good mood because sometimes they throw stuff at people, sometimes feces, yuck!



















The beach in the town of San Juan Del Sur. One day when we went there was a full soccer game under way. I have played soccer before but these kids would have made me look silly!















The pool. In the distance is the town of San Juan Del Sur.















The villa that our Aunt and Uncle were nice enough to let us use.

I am new at this. It will take me some time to get accustomed to formatting.

Also note that when there are silly pictures of the dogs it is more than likely that Lael has done some posting!

Oh, I kow you were kidding. I wisj there was a way to write things in a sarcastic tone. Sometimes I try to write that way, it sounds good in my head but doesn't totally come across when someone else reads it.

See you tonight. I kind of wish we had a few more days to work on the touch plate. But, I suppose we do have a long time to work with it!
