a welcomed vacation

So we're stuck in Managua for a day or two as we attempt a vacation from our labors in Bethel, Nicaragua. We all have to get out of the country for a few days in order to renew our visas. Our translator Enrique is with us and Costa Ricans apparently have a problem with Nicaraguans and are making him jump through some hoops before he is allowed into the country. Every citizen of the entire world is allowed into Costa with only a form of ID excluding Nicaraguans, Guatemalans, and about three other countries. I don't get it!

We just spent about three days in San Juan Del Sur with my dad and pretty much surfed the whole time. Check this sweet picture of Josh sitting on a cliff with cactuses. We saw some that were twenty feet tall. I didn't even know there were cactus in this country. Other notables included driving through a river to get to our so called "resort". I also got pulled over twice in 5 minutes and Josh got out of another ticket not with money this time but by simply annoying the cop to the point of letting us go. Oh, and I nearly ran over a monkey as it crossed the road in front of us this morning. Ha! Who runs over monkeys?
