Hola from San Juan Del Sur!!! The weeks been going amazing, we arrived after a nice 4 hour bus ride from Leon Monday afternoon and everyone really seems to be enjoying themselves. Were staying at a hostel called Parque Maderas, which is incredible we can see the beutiful beach down the hill and in the and in the afternoons the temperature cools down, which has been a nice change from Leon.
The days have been full of the nicest surfing which everyone has enjoyed, the first day the group took lessons from two local surfers which was great since everyone learned so fast and now were all going out on our own.
The project for the week is to make a kilm for the upcoming art studio at Parque Maderas. A local family of potters are coming to help design and build the kilm, after it is complete it will be used for local art students and anyone staying at Parque Maderas.
This week end we plan to go on a boat trip and are going to try to snorkle in preperation for our upcoming scuba trip.
Besides that all is well and the food has been great!
And heres the trivia of the week…
Parque Maderas is a really cool project that Tyler has been working on for eight years. He originally came down to central america to start a bar with his friends, but he ended up in Nicaragua starting an incredible business. His vision is to have a hostel and restaurant for business purposes but he also has a huge garden for medicinal plants and is building and art stuido where he wants local artists to be able so stay and study. There will also be a small clinic with information about natural healing where locals can come learn and even take many of the plants home to their families.
