Hi all,
Just spoke to mum and dad on the phone. Very happy to hear all is well with them, and lovely to hear their voices.
Mum you will be pleased and maybe surprised to hear that the call only cost $3!
So we were finally on the 6am bus from Santa Elena this morning. It took us down and round the mountains to meet the transamerican highway.
We jumped out there and stood on the side of the highway till a bus came by that was heading to Penas Blancas, the Nicaraguan border.
Borders are always hot, dusty, stressful and a little crazy, but we made it out of Costa Rica and into Nicaragua with out any hassle.
We are now in this beautiful little seaside town, San Juan del Sur, on the Pacific Ocean.
Tonight we watched a brilliant sunset over the Pacific. That sounds weird doesn't it.
Central Americans are mostly Catholics, and they are presently celebrating the immaculate conception of Mary ( without sin?). There has just been a massive float of Mary, accompanied by a band and people following it, down the Main Street.
Along the beach front are altars that people have made to celebrate the feast.
It is hot here and sunny, which is a big change from rain and cool mountain weather.
Swimming in the Pacific tomorrow!
Still can't work out the photo on the blog stuff, so I will email a few photos to mum and dad, Annie and Moo. Sorry I don't have anyone else's email here.
Anyway love to all,
Zak
