Well people, the kitty is running dry and the weather is only getting hotter in Central America. To bring their adventures to a sunny, sweaty end, the trio decided to skip out of costa rica and head north to Nicaragua for some sun and surf in San Juan Del Sur, a bit of island life on the Isla De Ometepe, and finally a taste of the colonial city of Granada. They all three fly out of San Jose, Costa Rica on the 1st of may, heading back to family and friends in the states. Below are some snapshots of the last few weeks.

Jeebus!!!!!

Ryan and Tasha being bedbugs in the trio's second hostel in SJDS; a room that barely fit the two beds, but had air conditioning, by god.
The sunny streets of San Juan Del Sur.
Kevin, Testing out Tasha's new sunglasses.
Tasha and Ryan, looking pensive in the Black Cat Coffeehouse, the most gringofied establishment this side of the border.
After getting their fill of the ocean, the trio hopped a ferry to the Isla de Ometepe, and got a collective taxi to the Hacienda Merida.
The Taxi ride had some great views of the Volcan Concepcion.
Ryan and Tasha, having a very deep conversation on the shores of the Lago De Nicaragua at Hacienda Merida
Complete with hammocks!!

Petroglyphs!!!

Packed in like a bunch of sweaty sardines, the trio finally got moving to the city of Granada. (despite the look on his face, Kevin is not actually in excruciating pain)
Street performers with a giant puppet in Granada on their first night in town.
Horse-drawn carriages are still extremely common in downtown Granada.

Kevin and Ryan, taking a break on a bike adventure to Las Isletas outside of Granada.
Now abandoned, this old Hospital in Granada is an example of the colonial architecture that can be found all over the city.
There are also a number of very old cathedrals.
the market street in Granada.
Ryan and Tasha, getting their money's worth out of the Air Conditioning in their room in Granada.
on their last evening in the city, the trio headed up the bell tower in one of the old churches for a sunset view.
All the way up...
A young man who works at the church came up to ring the bells and give our travelers a bit of local history.
and then it was back on a bus to return to San Jose for a couple nights in the big city before heading out on flights back to the states....they hope you have enjoyed reading.
