A Million Minutes in Africa

While we wait for the truck to continue our South American foray, we just wanted to post some photos we didn’t get a chance to share from Central America. They were taken in December.

Dan on a zipline canopy tour in Nicaragua. It is called a canopy tour so that it takes on the air of eco-tourism, a popular term these days. However, it is really just a great excuse to zip through the trees and get an adrenaline rush.

A boat washed ashore at San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. Just some purty light on a rusty hulk.

The crater of Volcan Irazu, Costa Rica.

A guest in our room on the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica. I go to take a shower and as I touch the shower curtain to pull it back I notice this little critter hanging out in the folds of the curtain. Often Giselle screams moderately when there is a creepy crawler about so I ease her into this one. “Honey, there is something you shouldn’t see in the bathroom.”

The same guest, close up.

We’re in Esteli for the night and heading off to Grenada and Lake Nicaragua afterwards. Pictures and stories to follow, if we find a faster internet connection.

Our showerhead in Esteli. Remember hearing that electricity and water do not mix? Of course they do! If you want a warm shower, this is a good way to save energy because you do not heat up the entire tank of hot water. They work well, but they can be a little unnerving if you think about all of those ohms coursing through your body as you soap up. I think I remember hearing that it is not the volts that get you, it is the ohms.
