Nicaragua

I love:  the crazy lighting and heat lightning, the farmers and workers in their black rubber boots, the cow herds on the beach, the cute pigs in every yard, the horses on the beach, the acid-trip sunsets, hammocks as the primary form of lanai furniture, the surfer boys, the pretty Nica girls, colorful Granada town, and Espanol!

Sleepy Little Granada Town

If you study a map a Nicaragua, the geographical feature that you won't miss, is Lago de Nicaragua. Near the southwest coast and nestled between towering volcanic mountains, Lago de Nicaragua is enormous!

Come on A Surfari With Me...

It may seem backwards for two people who live in Hawaii to pay to go somewhere else to go surfing (something we can do for free in our own backyard).  But that's just what we did in the latest installment of "Ethan & Stacey flit around the world in search of architecture, culture, cheap flights, and friends."

Belize: Palapa Bar (aka the greatest place on earth)

Our awesome friend Cesar tipped us off to the greatest little slice of heaven, the Palapa Bar.  This gem is located on the island of Ambergris Caye, a little north of San Pedro town.  It was about a 20 minute bike ride for us and totally worth it!

The Palapa Bar

Yes, it's picturesque and on the water, but that's not even the greatest part.  Did you read the sign carefully?  "...Float in our inner tubes & get drinks by the bucket".  Say What?!  

Don't Stop Belize-in

To be sung to the tune of Journey:  "Don't stop Belize-in...hold on to the feee-e-eelin"


Belize!  So much diversity!  So many mosquitoes!  So much free Wifi!
