travels

so on monday, our official day off, we took a long bike ride to playa osteonel which was actually about a fifteen mile bike ride. it was pretty and interesting of a drive we had no idea. we saw a carcus of an eat up armadillo, and on the beach, tons of white ping pong ball looking hatched sea turtle eggs and even a couple of non-hatched ones. i found a piece from a turtles shell as well. the beach was a black sand beach with beautiful rocks all over in ruby red, purples and mustards dropped onto a background of charcoal grey. so neat. the vulture like birds were out and about eating any bits of baby turtle that were left behind. in more travel news, christopher and i will be making our first trip away for our passport requirements and in a true streak of adventure, renting a car and driving to and all about nicaragua. we are going to visit san juan del sur, mosaray, i think, and grenada which edges lake nicaragua. i love guerillas. positive energy for the trip. i have had crazy dreams about indiana jones style exits that i envision myself doing in nicaragua. peace be with us. more to come later.
