Hi, Whitney and Will here. We’re Wonderfully happy, and We made it to Costa Rica! But lets reWind the clock back to Granada.
Granada Was an aWesome, but very touristy, city. We Went ziplining Which Was Wicked fun. Whoever Wanted could go upside down, and superman style Which Was Wonderful! We also recieved free coffee Which We doWned because it Was Wonderfully delicious.
We also Went to Masaya, an artisans market Where We bought the rest of our gifts. We Were dropped off at the Wrong market-Where We could buy meat, shoes, or various vegetables. After trying to relocate everyone, We made the group decision to go to the authentic market doWn the road.
The next day We took a day trip to Lago de Apoyo-it Was Wonderful. We spent the day sWimming and kayaking in the Warm, clear Water of the crater lake. It Was a Wonderful day in the sun, highly enjoyed by all.
We also celebrated our tWo month anniversary (!!!!!!! WoW) Which was a simply Wonderful dinner at a Canadian-Mexican restaurant in the heart of Granada. Allison and Adam prepared us Wonderfully heart Warming appreciation cards that We then presented to each other. Each card had three adjectives Written on them, and We added one more of our oWn. It Was Wonderful. Everyone Was Wailing by the end. Wahhh.
While Granada was truly Wonderful, Ometepe Was Wonderous. It is an island formed by tWo volcanoes in the middle of Lake Nicaragua, With a boisterous ecosystem and a Wonderful climate. We Were able to choose our oWn activities, some choosing to lounge around and relax, and others (the self proclaimed Dream Team) climbed Volcan Maderas in the pouring rain. What a Wacky adventure! We also rented bikes and enjoyed exploring the island from our home base in the city of Moyogalpa. Some of the group members also enjoyed a Wonderful sunset boat ride on the lake, very romantic. Our other excursion Was to “Ojo de Agua,” (Eye of the Water) a crystal clear pool of cold, fresh Water. It Was aWesome!
This morning We left bright and early on the Lancha (small ferry) back to the main land. We drove to the border of Costa Rica in the most Wonderful bus yet, and then hopped on a public bus to San Jose. But this was no ordinary public bus-IT WAS WONDERFUL. AC, reclining seats, curtains, a bathroom, and mucho mas. We loved it-didn’t Want to get off.
We’ve arrived now at Hostel Galileo Which is a Wicked place to kick it. TomorroW We’re off to Playa Hermosa to save some sea turtle babies- no big deal. It ain’t no thang.
