Pangea

Hey I know I haven´t had posts up much recently but we´ve just been doing our thing in Montezuma for the past two weeks. Like i said last time, the hatchery is pretty much done which is good because tide has been getting ridiculously high these days. I never thought the height of our sandbag wall would ever really be needed but I can see now that it is really important. We also built a little hut next to the hatchery for when people have hatchery shifts. We made it from drift wood, bamboo, and palm leaves... its pretty cute.
Right now, however, we´re back in San Jose at good óle hostel pangea. We plan to hit up central market in a minute then we´ll just chill here for the night and tomorrow morning at 3 am is our but to Nicaragua. Its a 9 or so hour ride so it will actually be nice to leave that early and hopefully sleep most of the way! We should get there by noon which will be great. Our bus ride back to San JOse was rather long... we had to stand for about two and a half hours of it. And coming from MOntezuma we were the last ones back on the bus after the ferry so we were screwed (along with about 8 others from Montezuma) and when people got off along the way we were the last ones to fill seats (hence standing on the bus two and a half of the 3 hour trip from the ferry to san jose). Fabulous but it feels good to be back in San Jose for the night. I dont remember if i saiid last time what we were hitting up in Nicaragua. I think I did but I´ll just repeat myself incase I didn´t. We´re going to spend a couple nights at Ometepe Island, then Granada and Old Messiah Marketplace, then maybe Leon though we might not, then San Juan Del Sar. Then as a little splurge for ourselves we´ll stay at Guachepelin resort in Guanacaste whch Cassidy had seen on the travel channel which apparently has really high praise. Of course splurging here will be like only 20 or 30 a night but they have spas and things we are considering...since we are particularly dirty here haha. When we return from this trip we will be in the last third of our trip (crazy!). Then we´re plannin on staying in MOntezuma for another week, taking a 4 or 5 day trip by speedboat to Jaco and the southern pacific coast, then stay in Montezuma another week. Then we´ll be leaving Montezuma for good, spend a week in Panama (Cassidy´s uncle has connections there and supposedly will be hooking us up pretty good) then head back and spend our last few nights visiting our good ole friend Federico at his home near san jose (i mentioned him in an early post as a native who volunteered the first week and sounds like he´s on the discovery channel) anyways thats the outlook so far. We get sick of some of the long bus rides and travel so hopefully Nicaragua will be worth it! Later
