Tropical Lakes

This is Edgar on the beach Playa Santo Domingo on Lake Nicaragua. It's a nice place with little rancho umbrellas in the water and on the shore. It's a very nice looking beach.

Rocky Road

Here is a little clip from a trip to the beach. There are some very good roads in Nicaragua. The road to beach is not one of them. Note the jolting camera and mini-lakes consuming the road. I sometimes felt like I was "fording the river" in that Oregon Trail computer game that many of us played as kids. I was surprised on several occasions that water didn't seep into the side of the car through the doors when we drove through these huge puddles. Anyhow, we got to the beach without any real troubles, just a slightly wetter-than-normal car.

Fish and a Bicycle

Here are some photos from a trip to the beach Las Peñitas, which means "Little Stones on the beach." These are from September 22/23.
There were several dead fish lying around on the shore being chewed on by stray dogs. One dog wasn't satisfied with the dead fish and went fishing in the ocean trying to catch something a little fresher. I didn't see him find any fish, but he was at least having a good time chasing them around in a tidal pool. I tried to take a picture of him, but it was too dark to get anything decent.
