We have, as the crow flies, barely moved a inch. Still, even if Granada and Isla de Ometepe seem miniscule, it took no less that two taxis, three buses, and a ferry to make to happen. [That´s not even included the kilometer-plus uphill walk with our bags!] The view of Lake Nicaragua isn´t the only thing that has changed, howeve3r - so, too, has the pace of like. After a few days of cityscapes Seth and I once again find ourselves off the beaten track and loving every minute of it. We´re holed up for the night in Finca Magadalena, a working agricultural cooperative that is located at the base of Maderas, one of Ometepe´s two volcanoes.
Below is the lake and above us the mountain - tonight we´ll swim and tomorrow we´ll climb!
