Nicaragua

In the end, we only ended up going to the Island of Ometepe for the week. It was a lovely vacation that didn't go by quickly and every moment, besides scaling one of the volcanoes, was enjoyable. Basically the island has two volcanoes on it in the middle of a lake and was gorgeous. Most of the time we spent on the beach enjoying the lovely view. Here are some photos to sum up the trip:

Some of the volunteers and I walking to catch a bus to our next destination with the ever present Volcan Concepción as our backdrop.

Mis compas at Playa Santo Domingo enjoying the view of the other volcano Maderas.

Beautiful white-throated magpie jays (or urracas) flying EVERYWHERE at ALL times. Facinating.

Happily hitching a ride. Totally legit!

Halfway point up Volcan Concepción with the group and our lovely guide Levy who's smile lights up the world.
Always people on horse (as the roads are HORRIBLE) and cows somewhere.

Colorful, pimped-out buses.

Enjoy y hasta la próxima.
