Ometepe

Ometepe took about an hour ferry ride over to the island.

The view of the two volcanoes.

Elizabeth was our photographer on this shot. She was happy with the picture because my hair is blowing.

Carrying our backpacks to the top level so we got a good view.

Charco Verde dark sand from the volcanoes and lots of gnats.

Kids swam and stacked up on each other.


Elizabeth being the smallest was the one who was flipped.

Ojo de Agua, Eyes of the water. Natural spring feed swimming hole.

Complete with tarzan swing.

Two pool areas with a deck built around the spring.

Did we mention the kids are getting along "most" of the time.

A hot breakfast which we hadn't had in awhile before our hike up San Ramon Waterfall.

Somehow we thought the hike was shorter. It was a good hour up very steep terrain.


Part way up the climb.


The view from the top. With a very cold, shallow area below the falls.


A video of the falls.



Video of  Jeremiah's "walk" down from the "fall"s.  Proof that electronic devices can be distracting and that guys don't multitask and look good at the same time.

One of the two volcanoes is almost constantly in view on the island.

I was drawn to the colours, and vibrancy of the grave yards. It felt more celebratory and less sombre.


We went horseback riding part way up the volcanoe and through some farms (fincas).

We rode back in the dark.

A beautiful church.

Inside the church they were decorating for a wedding.

Looking out over the Punta Maria Jesus, the people were washing clothes.
