Watermelon anyone? |
Lots of the homes in the country have thatched roofs all the way to the ground like the one in the background. |
These children just got off the school bus and are heading home. |
The countryside is quite beautiful - lush and green. |
To get from the marina to town, we have to take a van. It's almost an hour away over very bumpy, dirt roads. |
I (Roma) just liked this shot taken out of the van window. |
There is always a cow or two to be seen from the road. |
A little roadside refreshment stand. |

A view into a home. I think that is a US flag inside. |
Part of the Marina property on the way back from town. There is a nice view of the beach. |
In the distance is the building of a woman who runs a small mission that helps the local people. |
Turkeys! There are a lot more farm animals here in Nicarauga than we have seen in other places. |

Another home with a thatched roof. |
This is a pithaya. In English it is called a dragon fruit. It is a cactus flower and is considered a delicacy. |

Steve and the boys visited the local school. |
The Trinity crew, the Sula crew, and the Wayfinder grandchildren huddle outside the school. |
They bring the whole school out to meet everyone. |

This is an approaching thunderstorm. This particular one didn't bring much rain, but we usually get one going through every night around 2:00 am. |
