In what could be my last trip to the island paradise of Ometepe where I just spent the last 4 days getting a little much needed R&R...-I walked more than 15 kilometers in 2 days
-I climbed at least halfway up a volcano to see a gorgeous waterfall (and then got drenched in it)
-I spent many hours laughing with my roomie Andrea and her friend Shannon visiting from PA
-I ate the best brocheta de pollo (shish-ka-bob) of my life (made with curry, pineapple, banana, green pepper, tomato and onion)
-I saw some cool pre-columbian petroglyphs...
-I sweated buckets
-I enjoyed the beauty of dozens of colorful flowers (Dawn, this one remind me of you!)
-I swam in a "fountain of youth", the pristine mineral waters of the "ojo del agua"
-I biked on muddy, rocky roads, took a nasty fall, and escaped with one knee scraped up and several bad bruises
-I became obsessed with a bluejay like bird called the uracca, which turns out to behave remarkably like a pigeon
-I witnessed several breathtaking sunrises and sunsets
-I finished Henri Nouwen's book "Camino a Casa" por fin!
