Now the blog is really back. I paid some people $90 to fix it and they promise to keep it fixed for at least 1 yr. Sorry for all the trouble with the hackers and spies and evil computer people. Our plans continue to change and change again, and for the moment it looks like we will be spending some quality beach time near Popoyo, Nicaragua for the next week or so. This place is supposed to have amazing surf and beautiful beaches and not much else. Last weekend we had a big adventure up to the Padre Ramos area. One day we climbed Volcan Cosiguina, this volcano that used to be the tallest in Central America, but blew it’s top 160 years ago and now just has a beautiful lake in it’s crater and is not nearly as tall.

 Atop Cosiguina

It was a hot tough climb, but everyone made it. On the way down we happened upon the biggest rattlesnake we’d ever seen (about 5 ft long and thick as a baseball bat). We snuck by it and made it back to Jiquillio.

 This picture does not do this snake justice

We also met a bunch of Olin’s good friends/family from his time hear in the Peace Corp. We came back tired and happy.

There are lots more pictures in the Nicaragua section of photos too and if you care, don’t forget to read the older posts that were written while the hackers were f’ing with me.
