Fun Day In Paradise

Today we started out with the usual early breakfast. Beans and rice are getting less and less appealing as the days go on. First activity of the day was zip-lining at the coffee plantation. The tour guides really kept it interesting for us, they let us do stunts like the superman, crazy monkey, and bouncing. Some were scared at first and some were crazy from the beginning. For lunch we ate at Tip-Top chicken. Its kind of like our KFC. It was pretty good, I'm not gonna lie. My phone was stolen out of my book bag though, that was a Debbie downer on fun day. Next on the list was volcano Mombacho in the town of Masaya. It was an active volcano and very smokey. The cross at the top of the pictures has a story behind it, the Nicaraguans used to believe that if they would sacrifice people into the volcano then it wouldn't erupt.That obviously didn't work to well ha ha. We saved the best for last though, shopping. This big group of ladies + Bob have been asking about it since the beginning. It was hot, sweaty and dirty and your bubble no longer existed. We had security guards follow us around to make sure we weren't harmed or cheated out of money. Jeanie 9a nurse from the states that was already there)lived up to her name again and bought everything in sight. For dinner we ate at the second fanciest restaurant in Nicaragua. We could eat steak, chicken or sea bass. May I just add that the steak was pretty fine. And so was the fruit juice. We had a lot of firsts on this trip but hopefully not a lot of lasts. Overall it was a very good day and a great way to end this trip. Hallie & Madilyne (from Missouri)
