Incredible pics! What did your son think of the way of life down there.
Bet it was a totally different perspective down there. How were you
treated by the locals? And finally, did the system sound different after bein away
for a week? If not you can just send it down to me. I'll appreciate it for both of us.

ps: Did the wife and daughter enjoy a week off from braiding?
Forgot to mention, we need a thread called leave it to Pete.
Leave it to Pete to find probably the only tube in Nicaragua!
It was a very humbling experience for both my son Matt & myself. The poverty was overwhelming at times, but the people were very happy. In the towns, the people in the market were eager to earn your dollar or Cordoba ($1USD = 28 Cordobas)... In a fancy restaurant, a good bottled beer was 30 Cordobas... Yes, the US dollar went very far...
Yes, my wife did not miss the braiding but hopefully missed me
A couple more pics...
Sunset at San Juan del Sur (see the sailboat in the sun?)
Another view of the cathedral.
Bananas anyone?
Beware of the Puma (in the cloud forest, near the volcanic peak)!
Fresh water lake - notice the volcanic "dark" sand
Another view of Volcano Concepcion, with the constant cloud cover (cloud forest) over its peak.
Cheers,
Pete
