Michelle is back for Nicaragua round 2! Things that are
different this time around:
- Michelle is being less cautious about the water, and no longer brushing her teeth with bottled water, like the awkward, healthy tourist she was last October.
- Hotels this time around are actually nice and don’t involve foxes scraping against the walls.
- Pete is no longer skeletal. He had been hospitalized with a gallbladder infection the week before my visit, and had lost a [scary] amount of weight. Thanks to everyone’s care packages, he is slowly fattening up.
- Food is AMAZING (no rice and beans yet…)! Last night we ate at the supposedly #1 best rated restaurant in Granada. Bottle wine, olives, bread and SHARK steaks with a calamari ink pasta. YUM!
- HOT, HOT, HOT (AND HUMID). Last year, I came at the end of rainy season. Now it’s the very beginning of rainy season. I felt like I stepped into a sauna when I got off the plane. Also, this year I didn’t bother to lug my straightener down. It was a losing battle.
- Touristy things! Our plan after breakfast is go tour the archipelagos via boat and, maybe, hopefully see monkeys!
- And drink at an island bar! Pray to the rain gods things clear up for us :)
- First world movies! Tonight we’re going to Juegos del Hambre (HUNGER GAMES!). In English no less.
That’s it for now, talk to you in a couple days!
-Pete and Michelle
