selva negra

Pictures are supposed to be worth 1,000 words, so instead of 16,000 words about Andrea and I's 3-day wonderful adventure in the cold (!) and beautiful mountains of Matagalpa, I give you 16 photos (chosen with great difficulty). The first photo was taken in the city of Matagalpa where Andrea and I had lunch with the extended Gutierrez family before heading up to Selva Negra. By the way, in addition to the monkeys, we saw lots of geese, ducks, beavers, birds, horses, roosters, donkeys, and even a family of (slightly dangerous) wild hogs.

p.s. Happy New Year, everyone!
