Weekend at the Beach

Last weekend we spent a day and half at a beach(Penitas) on the north west coast of Nicaragua. There is a small fishing village that is slowly developing into a popular tourist destination. It is a two and half hour bus ride, but it was worth the ride. The water was not the best for swimming because the waves were so forceful they knocked us over, but it was beautiful watching the waves. Luckily there is a river that feeds into the ocean and we were able to swim there. We went with a fellow MCCer, Beth, who was the one who came up with the idea to go to the beach. Beth has been in Nicaragua 5 months, so she has not had a lot of time to explore and enjoy the beauty Nicaragua has to offer. We had a wonderful time at the beach and hanging out with Beth.

Nice, nice. Sometimes I go to the "beach" at Horsetooth Reservoir, but, yeah, your beach trip sounds better. : )

And, yes, blog comments totally count as staying in touch. : )
