San Juan del Sur - Nicaragua









Back to comfort - Nicaragua

Just arrived in a small little hostal in 'San Juan del sur' that usually would have seamed like a 1 star choise, now after a week living in close contact with animals, organic life and nature, this looks like a 5 star choise!

Last monday we arrived in a vulcano island called Ometepe, and after the usual 5 hour boat ride, bus plus taxi we got to our lodging ... an organic farm on top of a steep vulano hike... my first thought: Shower!... too bad there was no light, as sun was already down and the shower was deep in the forest with no door or roof .... After breathing, counting to ten and letting it go I had the best shower of my life surrounded only by fireflyes in complete darkness.
A memory I will treasure for life.

Big Corn Island on a rainy day

Here we are, surrounded by happiness, on a beautiful tropical rainy day.
We found our selves guests in a small colorfull island radio station and while Iggy recorded I just thought of how many opportunities we have in life and how happiness is made of thouse opportunities and moments.
There, in a simple concrete purple and blue studio, with bananas and wild pineapples awaiting outside I did feel happy.

During this trip I'm trying to put ideas together so that at 30, to the question, what do you want to do? I may have an answer.
On the other side I think, is it so bad not to have an answer? Does everybody know? And what does it mean if I don't know?
What I'm figuring out is that many times what we do and the path we follow is not our path but one that others have directly on indirectly chosen for us. Not to follow it may mean to letting down, struggling with our selves for what we were though is right and what we think is right.
I'm not sure what will come out from all of this but what I did come to know is that truly one suit does not fit all.
