The sun came streaming in through the window at 5:30. We managed another 90 minutes of tossing and turning before the alarm went off. This was the first day since we left where an alarm clock was needed. Despite my stuffiness from the night before, I slept well. Waking…well i hoped i might be magically…

It rained all night. Nice and cool, but the humidity must be at 120%. Our towels havent dried in two days. Any quick dry gear we have is still damp. In each of these rooms there is a salt lamp sitting on a desk. These lamps are kind of like the rough look lamps sold…

We woke to rain. We breakfasted in a little rain, this time with our housekeeper Sonja making fruit and a really big pancake for us. Afterwards while I sat enjoying a little coffee I got chatting with her. Chatting is a bit of an overstatement as it implies two way dialogue and assumes we can…

We switched rooms yesterday. We opted for the smaller, darker and quieter room tucked at the back of the property for the extra days we added on here in San Juan del Sur. Probably a good choice as we now can’t hear the trucks noisily climbing the hill out front or the barking dogs nearby.…

This morning I was a little pink on anything that isn’t already brown. They joys of vitiligo. Our mission today was simple…find a hat and stay out of the sun. I already have a hat, but not near enough coverage with a ball cap to shield me from this sunshine. Breakfast was simpler this morning.…

Finally, I have figured out what is making that click, click, click noise that really sounded like someone constantly rapping on a door. Considering it was in Leon that we first heard it, that actually was a lady open palm smacking the door with a ring on her finger to try and get the attention…

6:30 and I was up. Melanie sound asleep even though sunshine was streaming in through the window and that morning breeze was starting us off at 28 degrees C. We might be adapting, and if we are it seems to be ever so slowly. A strong pot of coffee was prepared by our host Brian,…

We slept last night to the sounds of critters in the trees all chirping and buzzing in the darkness. Fireflies just outside our window sparkle in the night and frogs croak in the bushes. We slept well. This morning our hosts made us up a bacon and egg breakfast bagel. Not the best we have…

The other night we were looking for someplace to go and something to do nearby. So many of the tour companies here in Granada are offering day trips to nearby attractions (which is why we went on a night volcano visit) and a tour to Laguna de Apoyo was something we should do. At $20USD…

Another sound sleep. We might almost get used to this, however with the weekend looming those bad pop tunes will certainly stretch well into the wee hours of the morning. I didn’t beat the pool guy to the pool this morning, and the rain put a damper on any wishes i had for a morning…
