Rolling hills, ocean in the distance, and a celestial mist become Monteverde. On a 12 mile walk, more or less, we swam through the rain and got pushed by the wind. I know it may be hard for those living in subzero weather right now to sympathize with us.... But it's cold. Thank god for rain boots and disposable ponchos.
But this beautiful weather has given me time for reflection. My love affair with Nicaragua has been on my mind.
The differences between Costa Rica and Nicaragua seemed unsettling at first, it seems cruel to think that a border can mean the difference between prosperity and poverty. But as time goes on and more understanding comes I realize the strength both these countires have. Not cruel. Simply life.
And now for some sentimental images of Nica's finest.....
twilight. dreamlight.
malformation. granada at sunset.
San Juan hidden treasures.

malformation. beautiful woman. another of San Juan's hidden treasures.
So until we are everyday chocolate brewers, ciao.

Good narrative, "J". Good photo of beautiful lady in San Juan.
