Today we went down to watch the dolphin show. The trainers would have the dolphins do tricks. Some of the tricks were: they made the dolphins jump, one of the the trainers would ride the dolphin with both of his feet on each of the dolphins. One of the tricks was he stood on the […]
Day Seven in Roatan
Day Seven in Roatan Excepting Emma’s losing battle with seasickness on the ferry ride to Roatan, our time here has been great! But what is not to like about spending time on a beautiful white sand beach, lined with palm trees and jungle overlooking calm blue seas? Things got even better yesterday when we moved […]
Roatan!
We’ve made it to our first island, and I have been having a great time. The first day was a long trip on the ferry on which Emma threw up, but other than that, the trip was pretty fun. We even saw a shipwreck near Roatan. Then we headed to our hotel, a place called […]
Goodbye Nicaragua, Hello Honduras
Bootsnall Blog We left Nicaragua on the 29th, after 17 days there. We had decided to move on to Honduras because we were concerned that Bjorn and Emma were not enjoying things as much as Margit and I were, and we thought some diving would really get them excited. Of course, we are not certain […]
The Trip so far, According to Bjorn
Well, the trips been pretty fun so far, but I would rather be at home with my friends and toys. Oh well. Right now we’re sitting in a shuttle bus on our way to Managua, were we’ll spend the night and then wake up at 5:00 to take a bus to Honduras. I’m not that […]

Mombacho! Mombacho!
July 16 We had our first big excursion on Friday. After Mitch went for an early run and Bjorn had time to work on IDLA and Emma to write in her journal we were off at the crack of 10:00. We needed to catch a bus near the market so we wound our way through […]
July 13th and 14th according to Emma
July 13th Today we went out to the coast. I liked the drive up the most. I saw people people using blades to chop grass instead of lawnmowers. I also saw a man taming chickens at least it looked like it. They were standing all around him with one leg on the ground and one […]
The adventure begins
Our first full day in Nicaragua. When you plan a long trip, it is with the expectation that not everything will go smoothly. We didn’t have to wait long to fulfill our expectations. Our flight from Miami to Managua was delayed a couple of hours, which was not a big deal. However, when we arrived […]
first day!
Well, yesterday certainly was an exiting first day. After spending the whole day in three planes, we finally got to the Nicaraguan airport and it turns out we lost all of our luggage, except mine. So we told them to send it to hotel Mozante, our place for the night. We hired a taxi driver […]
