Good evening from Nicaragua! Over the past two weeks, I have had the opportunity to be a part of a few neat experiences. For this reason, I decided that it would be more appropriate to give you a visual picture of all that has happened. I hope you enjoy the pictures and check back next week for another post.

A shot of the cove in the morning from the restaurant at which we ate breakfast. Due to the earthquake, there was a tsunami warning, which thankfully was notning more than a warning.
A morning picture of the cliffs. Shortly after taking this picture, we experienced a 7.6 magnitude earthquake. It was a little disconcerting, but everything was okay.
A crab friend we met Tuesday evening.
Micah and I ate dinner at a restaurant on the beach. This is a shot of the cliffs and Jesus statue at San Juan Del Sur.
One more sunset shot from the beach at San Juan Del Sur. God is certainly creative.
The colors in the sky and water that were created by the sunset were breathtaking.
The sun sets directly over the cove at San Juan Del Sur making for some incredible sunsets.

A morning picture of the port at Jan Juan Del Sur taken from our hotel room.
We stopped at this restaurant to grab a soda before driving back across the island to catch the ferry. Most of the roads on Ometepe are unpaved so they make for quite the adventure.
Micah and I enjoying the fruits of our labor.
A closer picture of the waterfall, which is approximately 150 meters tall.

A picture of the waterfall as we came out of the jungle and into the clearing. It is a challenging hike, but well worth the energy.
A picture of the trail behind us as we continue the climb to the waterfall.
One of the beautiful spots we viewed as we ascended the volcano to the waterfall.
A picture of the path leading to the waterfall on Maderas Volcano. We drove two kilometer and then hiked two kilometers up the volcano to view the waterfall.
The national tree of Nicaragua.
Picture from our driver Jorge’s truck of the “traffic” on Ometepe. Because the ferry was not running and we could not get my truck over to Ometepe, we reserved a driver for the day.
Another shot of La Concepcion from the wooden boat. We had to take the wooden boat across because the larger ferry had lost its propeller.

A picture from the wooden boat Micah and I took to Ometepe Island. Ometepe Island is in the middle of Lake Nicaragua.
The Quiceaneras getting ready to cut the cakes.
