Finally, an update from Central America. Ive been having some login issues onto my blog and Im still not sure exactly what is going on.

 I had a great time hanging with Jacob Veverka in Honduras and also hanging out with some of his friends that live down there too. We took a really sweet hike into a nearby cloudforest (I dont get to use that phrase very often). Perfect distance and beautiful Honduran scenery. We saw the Transformers movie at a mall in Tegucigalpa which was fun too. (For the cinematic readers, i was blown away by the quality of that flick.) The best part by far though of Honduras was getting to hang out with my good buddy Jake. We celebrated the 3 year anniversary of the completion of our cross country bike trip. 

From there it was on to Nicaragua, where I still am right now. I tried to take an international bus from Tegucigalpa to the Nicaragua but I got shut out. Therefore I had to take a serious of local buses, which obviously provides way more flavor. I have found Nicaraguans to be very friendly and I am really having a good time here. In Leon, a colonial city in the northwest part of the country I hiked a volcano and volcano boarded down the front side. It was a blast, even though there was a lot of chance for injury. Out of 9 of us, only one guy got scraped up but bad things can happen when you are screaming down the hill on a 4 foot long piece of plywood with countertop laminate glued to the bottom for acceleration. Now that I know the technique, I would totally do it again.

I spent a little time in Managua, the capital city and then headed south to Granada and the largest freshwater lake island in the world (but you already knew that), Isla Ometepe.

Now I find myself in San Juan del Sur. Tomorrow we will go surfing. I swear I will post some pictures soon but it is not as easy as it is when I have my own computer.
