The last two days have beena whirlwind of activitiy. After a great little Kayaking tour through the isletas of Grenada I made my way to Isla de Ometepe. I had met thse four pe3ople who were traveling to Ometepe and were taking the ferry directly from Grenada. I jumped into their group and we had a couple of great days. First was the ferry crossing. It would seem like it would be easy but in fact it wa a mission to check your bags. First they were weighed and you were given a piece of paper. Then you brought the paper to a window where they took it. Next you waited at another window where after writing a page full of details, you paid to check your bag. All in Spanish of course and all a bit overwhelming. Done.
Today we spent the day on the back of a pick-up driving around the island. This island was formed by two different volcanoes. We organized a guide and a truck to take us to see some petroglyphs,a nd a three hour hike to the San Ramon Waterfall. The water fall was great and the five of us were there alone and we were able to jump in the pool and rinse off the sweat in the spray. Pretty awesome. After the hike back, we rode horses to two great natural pools and swam for a while, before returning to Altagracia. Tomorrow, I am off on a volcano climb. Volcano Conception is the bigger of the two and still active. Should provide for a good c,limb. I am going with a woman Sarah I met and this hike will be about 10-12 hours. Details to follow.
Today was really a perfect day and off the beaten tourist track. Only pòssible due to a group. I am thankful to have bumped into these others!
