BORDER RUN

Samara--> Nicoya--> Liberia--> Penas Blanco--> Shady border crossing--> Rivas--> Granda


Nicaragua at its best... A different county entirely than what we are used to here in Costa Rica. A bit nervous traveling out of our little paradise we made it through five days and two borders crossing in one piece. After arriving about four hours late, mechanical issues with the bus, we were dropped on a busy corner in the middle of Granada. "Great it is night time in a busy city and we have no idea where we are... TAXI!!" 21 cordobas later we made it to Hospedaje La Siesta.  We spent the next day wondering around Granada, which is a surprisingly beautiful place with loads of sweet architecture, bright colors and some great restaurants. Two nights and one full day in the city was enough so we decided to head down to San Juan del Sur for a couple days.

We are trying a new deal with the photos in the form of a slide show so hopefully they all come up. Very random pictures in here... We slipped into a thrift store and found some three times over hand me downs like an Alabama hat and a Broncos super bowl hat which we're not even sure if they won that one.  The biggest loss while in Granada was Casey's flip flop which was a perfectly timed blow out while walking down the outdoor market, not a good place to be bare foot.

Surprised to see the bus we rode in elementary school still in action!
