This morning John went up a mountian. Specifically, it was a volcano, located not too far outside of Leon. The hike up was pretty, and had some nice views of the other volcanos in the area and the surrounding countryside. And don´t worry, Mom -- this one wasn´t an active volcano. It was, essentially, just a large mountian of volcanic ash. If you...

Hey everyone I know it' been a while since I've last posted something. I'm still safe and alive, I've just been finding myself enjoying the company and locations that at times I lose track of keeping in contact. Hope these posts make-up for them. Leon, Nicaragua is a Spanish colonial city that was founded in 1524. It along with rival city Granad...

My Christmas Day visit to the cathedral on the parque evoked memories of being dragged through countless European cathedrals as a child - the smell of that distinctive incense triggered the instant memory! Construction on Catedral La Ascuncion began in 1746 and lasted over 130 years. It is the largest cathedral in Central America and combines Co...

Today I find myself in Leon, sweating through even my lightest clothes and a bit confused about what to do next. Olavi and I traveled in the bug for about a week together, and the plan was to drop me off in Managua so I could catch a bus to Leon. However, there are literally NO street signs in Managua and we got horribly lost with only the Lonel...

Friday Nov 7 Wow it´s 6:00, sunny, hot and humid already. I forgot to take my Malaria pill last night so I took it this morning. Within half an hour I did not feel very well. I´m sure it was because I took it on an empty stomach. We stopped for breakfast and I felt better immediately. We arrived at the Honduras border at 9:00, some more of our "...

Jam'packed last few days. Went out for some drinks on Saturday night, there was a live band on. After, I went to a disco in town. Both were places popular with locals and foreigners. So I wasn´t the only "chele". Chele, which is a *******ization of the Spanish word leche (milk) is Nica slang for a person with white skin. Gringo means a North Ame...

On my way to my first stop in Nicarauga called Leon, I had to stop one night in a rough place the capial called Managua, I met 2 canadian guys, so thought we may aswell go clubbing. Its dangerous here but ok as there was 3 of us. We went to a club called Hipa Hipa and the place was rammed with ...all i can say is lots of women that could ALL be ...

After wandering round the colonial town of Leon in the morning it was time to spend the afternoon volcano boarding. Around twelve of us jumped onto the back of a pick up and began the journey down dusty back roads to the active volcano Cerro Negro (Black Mountain). Where's the excitement if there's no risk of an eruption at any moment? In fact, ...

So, the next day in Leon (Saturday) I slept in since I was tired from dancing until 3 am and finally got out the door at 11 am. I called Marta and asked if she wanted to take me to the beach and she said that she would be ready in about two hours. I decided to walk around the city a little more, check out some of the streets that I hadn't walked...
