Its out last day at Laguna de Apoyo and we are just writing the first post about it. We've been really busy... Ok, not really, but its just really hard to get out of the hammock and get the computer. haha
We're at a place called the Crater's Edge owned by a Canadian lady. Its like a terraced property down toward the lake with a small beachfront and a cool covered patio by the lake with a bar and hammocks all surrounded by jungle. We eat lunch down there each day all prepared by the staff here. Its been really good so far as has dinner. The desserts are also great. Its so quiet and nice out here which is a good change from the excessive honking cabs and constant church bells and fireworks in Granada.
Yesterday was the best weather since we've been here. Not that the other days were bad, but yesterday was dead calm most of the day and the sun was out the entire time. Not bad for the "rainy" season.
The lake is in the crater of a volcano that erupted 23,000 years ago and is filled with mineral water that is a clear aquamarine color. It is the cleanest lake in Central America and is perfect for swimming at around 80 degrees. Its good for your skin as well. Our hostel here has a floating dock, innertubes, and kayaks you can check out. We spent some time on the tubes floating around yesterday. Very busy day. I read a 750 page book in 2 days. There's not much else to do here, haha.
Oh yesterday I also spent about half an hour playing with the floating rocks. Yes I'm easily amused, but floating rocks are pretty weird.
There are people here from all over the world. We also met a temp worker here that is from the Tri-cities. Small world. Some people here now are from San Diego and Belgium. We also met some from Spain, Switzerland, Germany, and Holland.
We're heading back to Granada tonight on the 4:30 shuttle and staying the night there. Then we are on to Ometepe tomorrow which is an island in the middle of lake Nicaragua formed by two volcanoes. Central America has A LOT of volcanoes. It seems like every mountain is not just a mountain, its an active volcano, but 100% safe for all you moms out there :O)
