We spent the day on the most beautiful beach we have ever been to in Maderas! We have been to many a beaches in our days, and this one was the best by far! The only way there was a back country dirt road, the beach was surrounded by untouched, lush green forest, and 4 ft. waves crashed up onto the many rock formations sticking out of the water!!! We had an entire bay all to ourselves for the whole day! Two bays over we could watch surfers! Dan had a hammock set up in the shade and I laid in the sun, watched hermit crabs go about their business, and took a dip the ocean of billowing waves when it got too hot! Ahhh...a perfect day in paradise!
Later we met an older Canadian couple who lives here in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. They took us off-roading around the tiny beach villages, and then up to the gated community on the cliff where they live. We have been staring at these huge beach homes up on the cliff from down on the beach, and we got to visit one today! It was an amazingly beautiful home with a cascading pool that overlooked the San Juan Bay, and down the coast all the way to Costa Rica!!! Their home was decorated with all local, hand made furniture and art....a dream home! We sat and had a glass of ice tea with the couple, and they told us about their Island home on the St. Lawrence River in the 1000 Lakes. Hmm small world! There is a large statue of Jesus on top of the cliff near the bay, and we drove up to see that up close, and look down on the bay of San Juan and over the rolling hills of Nicaragua that lead down to Costa Rica! I really wish we could upload pictures to share, the views were stunning!
Dan was not feeling well yesterday, but he is all better today!
6 DAYS UNTIL OUR RETURN!!!!!!
