We had breakfast at the den of thieves and then packed up and went to the internet place. A beautiful sunny morning and while I downloaded pictures to facebook Jo went out and got some really nice pictures of the volcano and the church. We spent the afternoon checking out the souvenir shops and bought a new road map as the other one was turning into dust. Scotch tape was no longer working.
While walking around we bumped into Bris who was the girl from Kelowna who was robbed the other night. She and her two buddies are leaving this afternoon for Monteverde. She's hoping to meet up with her father shortly and although he was also robbed up in Nicaragua he lost what she still has and vice versa so they should be ok once they hook up. She was in much better spirits after I told her about Lance getting his journal back after about 15 years. I'm sure she'll make out ok.
Back to the internet after our supper of pork chops, rice, beans, and salad. Got a few more pics downloaded while Jo sat nearby working on her journal.
Heard the church bells at 6:30 & thought we better get moving to make the lightning strike a little less accurate. Made it back to our new digs which aren't bad and it has a good lock on the door, along w/ tv, a/c and a fan.
Tomorrow we're off to a place where we'll have a view (weather permitting) of the lava and fireworks which are on the other side of the volcano from here. It's a little pricey but it's only for one night and then we'll head to the cloud forests of Monteverde where we'll probably need our rain gear again but the wildlife is supposed to be excellent. (I'm talking about the nature's kind of wildlife).
It was nice to have a day off and get a little caught up on the computer. We may be offline for another stint depending on the services next week. I'd like to thank those who are following our trip. Some were concerned when there were no blogs for so long and thought maybe we'd been shot, eaten,fallen into a pothole, open sewer or worse.
I'm going to try and mark our path on this new map so I can post it. We've covered a lot of ground so far and the trips only half over.
