Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and back again

On our second day in La Fortuna, the only activity I had planned for the day was an activity our entire group had signed up for.  I had been mentally prepping for this one the whole trip.  The planned activity … Continue reading

Back From Beyond

When last reporting from Granada, I was getting ready to return to the midst of nowhere in Lake Nicaragua.  I’ve definitely had my share of remote places for the moment. We took a van to Managua airport.  The actual airport … Continue reading
