Jess and Stacey’s Travels

We’ve been reminded by several readers that we have been remiss in keeping our blog up-to-date.  Lo siento. 

After spending five weeks longer than we planned in Antigua, we are going back to Nicaragua.  We spent the month+ living a normal, routine life-which explains our lack of content for the blog.  We survived the rainy season which is now winding down.  We had the chance to get to know the family of Francisca and Olga a little better.  We took Francisca’s son on his first horseback ride, around the Central Park in Antigua.  September 15 was Independence Day here so there were festivities in the park and fireworks throughout the night.  We visited an avocado finca (e.g. farm) about 20min outside of Antigua.  The big draw for Jess there was the treehouse, which we slept in for two nights.  There was a fantastic view from the inside the treehouse and from the finca, overlooking the valley and the three surrounding volcanos.  What we lacked in adventure, we made up for in normalcy this past month.     

Our next stop is in Granada, paying another visit to our host family there.  We are excited for the visit from Jeana and Mark in a month.
