nicaragua

My pal, Darren, is a whiz with his digital camera and the video editor. Below, if you're at all interested, find a lil photo/video montage he did of our recent trip to Nicaragua: starting in the colonial city of Granada, then climbing Volcan Masaya, and then relaxing on the Laguna de Apoyo.

The video at the end is of the various modes of transportation it took us to reach the laguna from high atop the volcano and the spectacular mirador of Catarina, the highlight of "los pueblos blancos". In all, I think that we went by foot, by chicken bus, a taxi, a moto (think moped with a back seat) and finally, by "hacer botella" (hitch hiking) on top of a truck bed of volcanic rock!

Good times.

Wow! It looks so lovely, you two are changing my mind about travelling in that part of the world, I've never been that interested before.

Oh, that's pretty cool. I was in Costa Rica recently and the video took me back a little. Although they aren't exactly the same (CR is quite a bit more commercial at this point), there are some similarities.

Looks like you had a great time.
