It's been a couple weeks, but I hope you all are doing well. I am doing very well. My parents were in town this past week; actually, they just left today.
We had a lot of fun while they were here. I picked them up Saturday evening. Sunday we went to Laguna de Apoyo, which is a crater lake about an hour outside of Managua. We sat around for a couple hours in the sun and went swimming in the lake a little bit.
Monday - They came to watch me teach. Classes went well, they stayed for the first four periods. Mom and Dad decided that I teach very similar to my everyday actions. Which was a compliment, always nice to hear that you comfortable in your profession.
Monday night we did the Volcan Masaya night tour, which was actually posted about here earlier (the second post). Anyway we saw the volcano, the bat caves, and the mouth of the volcano. Mom didn't particularly enjoy the bat caves, I don't think, but she was a trooper and didn't complain.
Tuesday - We drove to Granada, which is more of a touristy town about an hour and a half outside Managua. After Granada we went to Mombacho, which is a mountain nearby, and walked the trails. On the trail we saw a couple monkeys which was really cool. We also had a great view of Lake Nicaragua and all the isletas. Mom was also very stoked about all the wild orchids.
Wednesday - We went to the market early in the day. Shopped in the market for maybe an hour. Didn't really get anything but just had a good time people watching. At about 1 in the afternoon we took off for San Juan del Sur. It takes about 3 hours to travel down to San Juan. We checked into the B & B and went for a drive down to Playa Maderas, which is a famous surfing beach here in Nicaragua. It was really cool to see all the surfers.
Thursday - In the morning the owner of our B & B took us on a tour of some of the properties
available in San Juan, as well as some of the properties that he is developing. It was really cool to see all of the available places and for what prices they were available. In the afternoon we went to the coolest pool on a hillside. It was an infinity pool, at a resort called Pelican Eyes, that overlooks the bay and ocean. It is really cool (pictures posted below).
Friday - More pool action.
Saturday - More pool action. Then we drove back to Managua and went out to eat at Sushi Itto.
Sunday - Dropped Mom and Dad off at the airport at 6 this morning.
I had a great time. Hopefully you all are doing well. Feel free to e-mail anytime.
