Today was an amazing day! We woke up at 7:00 am and had manuelitas for breakfast which are a crepe type roll filled with a type of cheese and cinnamon. We then headed to the Lagoon de Apoyo to begin our day of fun. The day was filled with swimming in beautiful water, kayaking, and relaxing in very comfortable hammocks.
Many of us even overcame fears of deep water with the help of others and a life jacket. For lunch, we had a delicious meal of rice, plantain chips, and either chicken or steak. Even though a few of us got a little sun-burned. The day was very enjoyable and filled with laughter.
When we got back to the house after more hours of bonding and swimming, we had dinner which was the best thing ever. It was Gallo pinto with sour cream, Pico de gallo, cheese, plantain chips. We really like plantain chips. All in all our day was AMAAAAAZZZIIIINNNNGGG.
Shout out to boogie Brando, syndicate fam, and all the other homes. And Sean Kingston.
Gwen[Jamie’s mom], hello all..great pictures thank you for sharing..luvu Jamie
Thanks Austin! Your mom & dad must be very excited reading your post! Love the pictures – Beautiful view and you all look great!
I missed giving commend yesterday because I went to bed early. Today I watched Euro 2016 soccer final. Portugal defeated France in over time. 🙂
Count down to 1 more week to see you all!
Good night & sweet dream!
Wow! The water looks great, was it cold? And lounging in the hammock even better. I hope someone is writing down the recipes, the crepes sound delicious. I see that gallo pinto is a substantial staple for the Nicaraguan diet. I love rice and beans.
All the best to the group 🙂
The water looks great! Was it really glacial runoff or was it warmer? Did you see “Nessie”? Enquiring minds want to know. 😉
For Bryn,
Breeze and Aurora have been chasing each other around the yard, playing. The pluot tree is still producing fruit, but we are down to the last two branches. They taste great! The pumpkins are getting big and we have some tiny melons starting along with a lot of tomatoes and some peppers. We had a gopher tunneling all over the garden for a while, but I think the cats got it…
From Stella’s Dad. Swimming day looked fantastic. Can’t wait to hear about that. Any cliffs?!
Everyday so many new adventures!
Maybe you are all on countdown to home by now, but remember to make the most of everyday during your last week! Love you and see you before long! -Dad
Well how great does it feel to take a break after a busy week? Once again I am getting hungry reading your blogs. Manuelitas sound great and I am going to have to find some plantain chips. Now I have to go have breakfast I can’t wait any longer. Lots of love from the PNW.
